I don't think it's a matter of trusting anyone. One looks at the position of one side, and then the others. One educates one's self as best one can as to what everyone's saying, and one makes their own decision based on those investigations. Skepticism is a good thing. I know that you, more than most, agree with that statement, Graywolf!! ;-) cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
