What I mean by saying 'fair enough' is that if someone wants to do that, then I can't stop them, so there is no point in getting too worked up about it, and one doesn't have to subscribe to viewing such things with any emotion - be it admiration or otherwise, because one can simply choose to ignore it. So if that's the way someone rolls, it's their choice, not that it would be mine, and I wouldn't particularly admire someone for having done so, nor regard it as very inspired, but since I can't stop people doing it, and I can choose to not let it affect me, then all one can really say is 'fair enough' LOL. Don't misunderstand me; that doesn't mean I think it is acceptable to me personally nor do I regard it being especially artistically creative.

But on the other point of defacing a bit of paperwork of historical value, now that is something that I can get wound up about, because like it or not, that does have the potential to affect my interest in historical information that might be gleaned from things left untampered in their original condition.
