What always perplexes me is why you and so many others prefer to talk
about me rather than the subject I'm trying to have a discussion with
someone about.
Well, Godfrey, here's an example of how it is that you often become the
subject. You start off by saying something like this:
Overall, though, this obsession with ultra high ISO settings and the
desire for noiseless results is, to me, utter and complete nonsense.
Then, you go on to write something like this:
Good, clear information and directly stated opinions are all I find
useful.
Essentially, what you've said is that you value a certain quality in the
arguments that you don't seem to value in your own. In your initial
statement, you state that you find both the "obsession with ultra high
ISO settings" AND "the desire for noiseless results" to be utter and
complete nonsense. Those are two completely different things.
One can have a "desire for noiseless results" without having an
"obsession with ultra high ISO settings". Yet, you've lumped everyone
into the same pile as if they were one and the same. Leaving aside the
fact that "ultra high ISO settings" are a completely relative concept,
if "the desire for noiseless results" were somehow "utter and complete
nonsense." there'd be no reason whatsoever to have an ISO setting below
800 on any camera as long as you shoot entirely in RAW.
But, as long as there are people who are eager to forward histrionics as
clear information and directly stated opinion, the most histrionic
person in the crowd will always be the center of attention.
