Hi Bob and all, Oh, no I never took it as an ethnic slur. I did not think BR was THAT bad :-). I was just laughing at myself. I just thought that BR, when I amused myself as a gadget freak which I do quite often (as I have various other hobbies involving some sort of gadgets), was using it to enhance his "know-it-all" attitude. But thank you for your concern ;-). > Bruce is a bit like the odd cousin we all have, a pain in the a** at times, > but still family. True. I thought he was changing a bit and started contributing to the list with more useful posts. In fact, my comment (the one talked about the ISO performance etc) was intended as a reconciliatory one and that's why I started with "Hi Bruce". To tell the truth, I do not have much of the problem with some of his "bad" posts. The only thing I have an issue with is his seemingly degrading remarks on Pentax users. Why do I care whether he tried to degrade Pentax? :-). It's Pentax's problem but not mine :-). But we all know the truth, don't we? Sometimes I am bored and have to stimulate my self-righteous mind to police BR's behaviours in otherwise very decent list, and I am more worried about littering this list with unpleasant and combative posts which I will begin to cease as I thought I made a point sufficiently by now :-). Yes, he is still our family. In fact, I think he wants to return to this list as a more legitimate member after getting sick of other brand and impressed by the return of Pentax :-)). It is about the time to make his return more comfortable isn't it? :-). Cheers, Ken
