  • Neutral, leaning toward weak oppose. It's featureable on the same logic as Church's, I guess, but if you think about the size of the canvas, it's only 31.3 pixels per inch. At that resolution an image of the Mona Lisa would be less than a thousand pixels high. Chick Bowen 05:05, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
