It is the desire of most civilised societies to have the freedom to express their views, and there is no fault here. What there is, is a difference of cultural exchange. In America, it is part and parcel of the culture to express a view even if that view does not necessarily move the discussion on in a positive way, whereas in other parts of the world it is perceived to be inconsiderate to express a belief that appears to denigrate.
This is the cost of a world-wide list, and unmoderated. The positive aspects of such (in my opinion ;-) far outweigh the disadvantages, and so we must try and deal with it. We all like a bit of silliness now and again, and I am no exception. I enjoy reading nonesense about how ugly a camera looks, and I certainly enjoy Ken's posts. I also enjoy reading of the extremely technical nature of digital photography, and I equally enjoy reading Godfrey's posts. So, here is a pretend post that probably would never happen here on this list - look at the content, and think about it, and think how the reply might seem offensive to someone from a culture slightly less 'up front and in your face'.... POST A: Vibrating components is by far the best method of cleaning DSLR sensors, as the vertical and horizontal movement of the sensor at a high frequency means that small particles of dust and detritus are forced off the sensor and onto the sticky surface below where they are collected. Having to use Pec-pads and such is such a chore in comparison and I would recommend anyone to buy a DSLR with this feature..... POST B: What da heck do I care how it cleans? I want to know what it looks like ... Does it have a nice rounded prism cover? what the accessories look like? what the grip feels like? are what are important to me. Just playing devil's advocate here. -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
