    I thought so too. I was overly impressed by the differences in which the 
entrants conveyed the topic. Each one of them (including me of course), had 
something going for 'it' as an individual piece. I liked that side of it.
   (Afterthought: Thinking about it, when the IRTC had those many entrants, 
(and there were many topics that did, and more), well, the expectancy of 
seeing those *new* images was always a big thing for me. You knew you were 
going to sit down for two cups of coffee and see something someone took time 
over to do the best they could. It was refreshing and inspirational.)

   That's a good and valid point, much like the IRTC.

     Yes, I agree, let's just call it TINA CHeP. WE all know how it 
originated, and if anyone doesn't know, I'll write up a nice history page 
some time - I have enough info on this machine to be accurate.

    Yes, sure, I'm just glad that I can offer something back in return for 
all the comments, crits, laughs, smilies, <whatever>, that have been 
directed my way over the years. It's all helped me no end in the six or so 
years that I've been around, and I still seem to keep improving here and 
there as a result, and that, makes me happy.

   So, you want a topic all? I propose Mike the Elders' topic for now - 
'Before and After'. I liked this idea when he first mentioned it, and I 
think we can all 'do it'. What say you?
