O yeah, absolute shite it is. Try to explain that to the FB crowd.

Flickr lost it against Facebook. Sad. I like Flickr a lot. I started a group years ago, I saw the contributors leave one by one, only staring at there facebook. Will Smugmug bring back the old Panache? No. They only want to catch some bucks of those who doesn't want to loose there on line...

The old harbor is walkable. The operational harbor is huge indeed. Brussel is a City on it’s own. I do like Brussels, but it toke multiple visits to find my way. The European quarter is spread as a deadly mold over the city and you can easily and up in a boring quarter and loose your one day...

It is not a matter of not agreeing, RPC’s explanation is a purely theoretical story. As I said: there is no practical evidence. If this story does cut woods, and manipulating a negative the same amount of digital, it implies the excellence of digital workflow because scanning and manipulation...
