Well the plot sickens...the PAR group (Pleajarens are Real) on yahoo have no banned me from posting, as none of my messages show on the board, but I
think the group members still get them, so here is what I replied with:
> MH: Jeff calls them "effects" but fails to say, and demonstrate,
> what effects they are and how they were produced. Likewise, after
> all this time period, one in which Meier had comparably produced
> numerous photos, etc. with NO technology such as is available to
> Jeff, Jeff has failed to demonstrate his own ability to create
> such "effects" himself, something that should be rather easy for
> someone with the technical knowledge and ability, as well as
> confidence in his own conclusions, that Jeff represents himself as
