DEAR PETER, I know one cannot slander the dead. Can one libel the dead? CHEERS! BOB _____ From: pure-silver-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pure-silver-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Peter Badcock Sent: Tuesday, June 01, 2010 11:43 PM To: pure-silver@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [pure-silver] Re: Film Still Wins ... Even Compared To Leica 18MPix Tom, I didn't intend to incite a posthumous, ad hominem, libelous attack against Barry. So lets please keep comments to the topic at hand rather than personal. The main point I was making is that there are clear errors in the article by Erwin Puts relating to statements about sharpness, resolution and grain and I used Barry's book to convey where this "common?" misunderstanding is explained. Richard, I'm not old enough to know where else these ideas were elucidated and published, so thanks for pointing them out. rgds Peter On 2 June 2010 11:14, Tom Kershaw <tom@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Richard, Barry Thornton's book 'Edge of Darkness' sets the BS-o-meter off. I'm not sure what he really contributed with his books apart from a sense of self-certainty. Tom
