         Oh I see, 35 years of work, thousands of hours of work, thousands 
of images taken in order to develop the skills in order to produce quality 
publishable images is nothing................. not to mention the artistic 
and intellectual property involved.................................

         the owner of the intellectual property makes individual decisions 
on what should be done with his/her work and it really does have 
value.............................

         It is certainly anyone's right to ask 
.........................  but the issue of not costing anything is a 
little removed from reality.
