Peter: it seems like you fellas have managed to make this into a "you versus tex" argument, as opposed to a "hutch versus the rest of the world" thread, and i think the constant tit-for-tat bickering......

Someone posts a bunch of photos, or maybe even just one photo, from a particular place which don't paint a rose-tinted picture of that place and you can guarantee someone......

factories in Kensington starting in 1965 until I was forced

Personal arguments, gang shout-outs, spam/advertising, images harvested directly from Google Image Search, posed family photos, completely abstract images, or anything in ALL-CAPS.
