Someone is selling a set of 24 stereoviews in ebay,
boasting that these are not curled.  I sending him
this question:

> Are these B&W or colored?  What do you mean
> no curling?

And here is his response:

>These are colored images. Curling is effect caused 
>by the image shrinking faster than the reverse. 
>As it shrinks the card curls or bows more than
>slightly.

And here is my response:

>I am sorry but you are totally ignorant.  Please
>inform your perspective buyers that your "colored"
>images are not true photographic images but crude
>reproductions.  Curling is not a defect, it is a
>feature introduced on purpose.

Did I just make another enemy?  Yes, definitely.
Do I care?  Not really.
