Re: [AGA-sc] More from Jay

["S. Hieber" <shieber@yahoo.com>]

I think we have to appreciate his youth and some of the
hubris that goes with it. Or maybe he's been hanging out
with the crowd that doesn't appreciate AGA enough.

He wants to be a photog but he's really just an earnest
novice now. He wants to help AGA -- as Erik pointed out, he
did do more than just pics -- but his insights exceed his
experience.

Maybe we can still turn him away from the dark side . . .
He would probably appreciate the photography tips,
especially coming from one as well-spoken as you.

Meanwhile, I felt compelled to say something on APC lest
readers there think that AGA is just a bunch of AKs that
refuse to listen to the wealth of good ideas everyone has
for AGA -- everyone is an expert.

I think Jay took the response okay.
