Yeah, me too. But there are so many cats to pet, first!

Does the lens have threads for filters? I've got 2 43mm Close-Up filters (+7 and +10) that I could let you borrow.

No, it's the world's cheapest digital camera; I'm hoping to someday get my film camera repaired and have the digital for spur-of-the-moment pictures. Thank you, though.

Preeeetty.

And what nice arches your feet have! :-)

Since catamorphism is a chickenshit asshat who likes to invite discussion, ban people who express ideas with whom s/he disagrees, and then use his/her journal as a platform for ridiculing those with whom s/he disagrees without allowing them to respond, I'll respond to your comments in your journal, if I may. I won't be offended if you delete this since it's OT here, but for obvious reasons I am unable to respond in the forum in which you made your comments.

I don't expect issues this complex and messy to have a perfect solution that's fair for everyone, and I don't expect all other solutions to completely devoid of logic and supportable only by the imbecilic and the evil.

I agree fully.

The world is a strange and intricately convoluted place.

But much simpler if one closes one's eyes, stops up one's ears, and refuses to acknowledge differing viewpoints.

I don't know what the right thing to do about affirmative action is; I don't think there's a single, perfect course of action we could adopt and live happily ever after.

Careful, you'll get banned by catamorphism for saying this sort of thing.

We're just all groping blindly toward the light together.

Well, some of us are, anyway. Others apparently prefer ignorance to cooperative or open discussion.

Thank you for taking the time to respond to me, but I wish you had used this space to do something besides attack catamorphism.
