Dave, let me try to explain. Dave, consider this scenario. You drive in a neighborhood and in great hurry you leave your car windows open. Your car gets robbed. You invoke insurance, and so on. While engaged in damage control you are let known that this neighborhood is rather full of thieves. A week later you have to pass by the same route again. This time, rather knowingly and on purpose you leave your car doors opened one more time and your car gets promptly robbed. This time however, along with invoking the insurance, you also start a very loud publicity campaign. Now, consider this: 1. Although you were quite right both times (as far theft being out of the law, etc), you were not very smart to leave your car doors opened. The first time over you were being normal human - you were in a hurry and you were preoccupied with something important. 2. The second time you did it on purpose. Further, this time you were knowingly inviting the thief so that you can cry out loud. Again - you were right by the letter of the law, but you were very non-smart other than that. Ultimately, I should point out that in this case your behavior may indicate a deeper underlying problem than just being robbed. 3. Finally, if your original plan was a publicity campaign against thieves in general or in this very neighborhood, don't tell me that the damage done to your car is something you cannot possibly stand. In other words - don't be childish. Now, my understanding (from reading the blog post comments) that this is not the very first time this lady has problem with FB authorities. Ultimate bottom line here is Hebrew saying "Be wise, don't be right". I hope I got my point across. Also let it be noted that this direction of the discussion has nothing to do with whatever was depicted in that/these photograph/s. -- Boris -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
