I did not know that...

Because you need to finish a render *now*, and can't wait for it to be 
implemented?

I get a bad feeling from everyone here lately. Maybe my meds aren't 
working right or something.

Oh dear! From what I said? I am really sorry Sam, because I just wanted to 
have some opinions about the use of  motion blur, nothing more. I am not 
arguing or wanting to (I am not that kind of guy). So, don't take it wrong. 
I suppose writing is always more ambiguous when feelings are concerned, 
especially when not a native speaker....

... agreed so perhaps I owe you an apology as well Thomas.

I saw a chance to comment on the over-all climate in these news groups 
lately.
I have nothing but repect for your work and how you conduct yourself as a 
contributor.

Mea Culpa
Jim

hopefully everyone knows I meant type "respect" and NOT repect (hey is that 
even a word?) .... and I thought I'd follow up before the spelling sheriff 
issued a warrant for my arrest ;-)
