Doesn't change my mind, but a reasonable reply.

I do differ with you on your comments about Roger.
I have been on this forum from the beginning and Roger has gone the extra mile with some people. He has drawn the line when someone is insulting, name calling, and in general just a total jerk toward people who obviously have a deep knowledge of Lincoln, the assassination and the time he lived. Being a forum moderator is tough. There are a lot of things we never see. I think he does a good job, much better than I could.

Gene, I agree with everything you said concerning Roger. That's why I can't understand why he would post a link to comments that have no place on a forum that he is associated with, and indeed founded. Had there been a "modify" button on that particular site as there is on this site, those comments would have disappeared the following day. That would have been an appropriate use of an edit button. But the dye was cast with no way to repair the damage. Bill Nash was clearly owed an apology for posting that trash on a respectable website. Unfortunately, it's all water under the bridge now.

Mick, you do understand that I was being sarcastic? I don't like taking a step backward, but in this instance, I have to apologize. In lieu of everything that's transpired in the last few posts, I'm going to make a concerted effort to elevate my commentary to a more respectable level.
There are certain things that can be seen under magnification of the actual daguerreotype that simply can't be reproduced in an online image without powerful magnification targeting a small section. Mary's wedding band is one example. This was accomplished using a 30 power jeweler's loop. When I get the opportunity, I'll see if some more detail can't be produced using the same method concerning the mole.
