Of course I haven't returned myself.

I agree with Kevin, Loyd and Joseph - your work behind the viewfinder is markedly better than when you started. I think that you would do yourself a favor by taking your time when editing. You are...

I'm surprised that Sean didn't piss off the screener by saying that a steam locomotive was "idling".
