	Last summer, I climbed Blue Mountain in the Adirondacks (just a
	trail -- no ropes or anything).  At the top of the mountain,
	there were two people standing on the platform of the firetower.
	One of them was trying to take a picture of the landscape, but
	the sun had momentarily hidden behind a cloud.
	Here's the argument I overheard:

	Mr.1: What are you waiting for?
	Mr.2: My flash to charge up. You gotta use a flash if the sun's
	      not out. 
	Mr.1: You can't use a flash on a landscape like that, stupid!
	Mr.2: Why not?
	Mr.1: The light would never get back to the shutter in time! Jeez..

	A lot of people at work disagreed with this very sensible advice.
	(see org. line below). They kept trying to tell me something about
	"inverse square" or something... I dunno... Some people...
