That's a valid question.  Reference to the CAMERA incident has come up a 
number of times recently as though it were "well known".  These 
incidents come up quite often, but most of us are not involved with 
them, and have better things to do with our time than to wade through 
other people's tedious flame wars.  I suppose that a capsule summary 
would be helpful to those of us who aren't involved.  If it turns out to 
be just another case of same-old same-old we can yawn and go back to our 
normal activities.
