user. It was summer 2007, and I had just bought (or was just about to
buy) my first DSLR, a K100D Super, and I could see that the level of

And you'll probably get a long rambling detour through the arcane
mysteries of some barely-related side-issue before you even get close

garrulous drunk.
That was very sneaky. Now we're already off topic :-)
