If Geoorge disagrees with the geometric foundation of the spreadsheet, why
does he care if it reads millimeters or not?

And if he doesn't have any need for my spreadsheet, that I can only wonder
about his motives for picking it apart here.  Unless, of course, he wants
to revive our old Photo-3D argument here.  His beligerence in that forum on
this topic is a reason I left.

If George likes the 1/30 rule for macros, then he should use it.  By the
same token, if he likes the 1/30 rule for macros, he certainly doesn't need
my spreadsheet.

As I have said before, those who are undecided should take their own macro
photos, comparing the MAOFD formula with the placebo.  Make your own
judgement.
