Robert Williams <bob@bob.usuf2.usuhs.mil> recently apologized:

And then, he went on to philosophize on precisely why this is quite
relevant to this list:

No need to apologize Bob. It is the argument that you offer
above that prompted me to respond. You can see the paradox:
We all admire Steve Lamont (the list's Guru) for his impressive
erudition in all matters related to GUI design, and yet he prefers
to call himself a troglodyte rather than adopt the very sort
of innovation that he is helping us implement through his incisive
comments.
I think it is perfectly ok for posters to send images. It not
only shows us what their particular problem may be, but also gives
us a glimpse of how others are creating GUIs using the FORMS library.
Over and out (probably enough said already. Got a grant proposal to
get out.)
