I know that. I should, I have lived with a therapist for 15 years ;-) Not anymore, but that's a different story. But there is one important difference between the joke therapist Eliza, and a real (and good) one. When a good therapist reflects you, it has a purpose. It's like looking into a mirror. Sometimes you don't like what you see there, quite annoying, but it gives you insight.
A _bad_ therapist simply parrots you, a good one on the other hand, tells you what you actually are seeing in the mirror. And this reminds me a bit of my reactions own on the advices the list gave me on composing vs. cropping. The list told me I was too lazy to solve the real problem. It made me very frustrated, and I yelled at it (the list). But it _sure was right_, and it was helpful. It gave me the drive I needed to get closer to the birds ;-) Now I am grateful for it! BTW. I'm preparing a sample or two for the web. I'll post them later. Tim Mostly harmless (just plain Norwegian) Never underestimate the power of stupidity in large crowds (Very freely after Arthur C.
