My stubbornness is just my not wanting to bicker with you.  While I thank
you for getting some third-party input, I do believe you're taking your
perceived results far too seriously.

I currently have a problem of not being able to see the finished
product.  I don't have the experience to compare what's on the screen to
what's actually printed.  At the moment all I have is black & white
(although at 1200 DPI, duplex printed).  I can't hold the screen at
different angles and different lighting conditions.  Perhaps Peter should
just print 2 to 5 copies and we can wait until next year to distribute a
more finished copy.

I'm going to try SAC-Announce to see if I can get some other images.
When I shrink the map, I'm going to need a lot of filler.
