"I am not at all interested in how you work up your photos or how long it takes you. Why should I be?"

Because I went to the trouble to detail 'how long and how' in defence of your supposition/accusation that sixteen hrs in the digital darkroom is 'proof' of misleading manipulation, when you were, in fact, *wrong* on this occasion. I suppose you 'should be interested' in that if only to realise that you made a false accusation. Any gentleman would be.

If you cannot see that integrity is important enough to defend against false claims, that's your problem. Maybe I shouldn't care about that, but I do.

Or you could just be a wind-up artiste of low calibre. The jury is, er, off to the pub.
