[Grovenet] Fwd: Oh NO, not Flat Fatima!

[allnutt]

Whoa a bit there.
Doctoring photos is wrong but I interpreted Steven's original post a bit 
different.

I felt that Steven Flat Fatima post was merely an example to illustrate the 
explanation of where the Flat Fatima phenomenon started, not necessarily as 
an endorsement of what the article stated.  When the question started out as 
'What is Flat Fatima?"
