John, all I will say is when I saw your post "…I smiled…” I didn't have the foggiest idea what you were talking about! Was that comment supposed to mean something to people? Because if it was, I don't think a lot of us "got it"...

I'll answer that quite simply for you, Andy.
This is what the other poster wrote: "...
Perhaps authors/publishers
should consider having similar substantial captions as standard..."
Quite simply, he is telling authors that they should consider having substantial captions to the photos in their works. I replied 'I smiled', since I have always provided as much information as possible in captions in the 11 books I have written/co-written. I went further as the discussion continued by providing two examples of the kind of captions that I write. They are not the 4 or 5 words that Jukka sneeringly suggested I did, or liked.
And just to reinforce my point, here's another seven and a half lines of caption to the photo on this page:
So I hope you can now see the point I was making to the other poster - don't make presumptions about another person without the facts 100% to back you up.
TO JOHN BEAMAN: I am simply answering John's query, not seeking to stir things up any further...
