Hello Malcolm, I don't disagree with what you have said. One slightly different angle though, is that those people who are now thoughtlessly using digital to create worthless images, didn't use to create images at all or thoughtlessly used a one time use or P&S camera to accomplish the same drivel. What I am saying is that those people remain thoughtless about photography not matter what the device.
