It's a bitch being accused of hybridisation, even in such a roundabout way,
isn't it? I was once, and I tell you, you never forget it!

Sure - I offered this to Uncmack if he had a piccie to send.

I have it now, Al. it's 57kB which is a bit large for the page, but it is
one of the best photos I have ever seen of the Red Fish. I'll play with it,
maybe bump it down to 256 colours and reduce the size a bit, we can play
with it tomorrow or Sunday. But it would save further pointless argument on
*this* point at least. :)
