I've got to admit, the debate over the photo, in comparison to 
discussing his works, was what made me start thinking of getting off 
the list, non-participant though I've been up to this point...

And whether or not the chicken of his reclusiveness came before the egg 
of the disservice of him and his work, I think it could be agreed that 
they aren't doing anything to change the situation.
