In general I might agree Larry, Darren. However, the person whose list I quoted is quite well hidden. The particular blog does not show real names or emails so it would be difficult to trace back to the actual person without breaking into the blog’s mainframe. Unless the individual at some point had a side conversation and shared his email address in the open blog, and even then it might be a burner special purpose email.
As a practical issue, my biggest knock on the listing I shared is that it is not very helpful; too detailed, just a data dump, inadequately formatted, no summarization. If I were looking for someone to advise on a particular camera/lens combo within that community, I would post a note saying “does anybody have any experience with xx/yy camera/lens combo?" Even if I do a Search within the blog and happen to get a hit on this guy’s note, there is no real information there and I still need to post my question. (There is no way to do a message directed to an individual. Unlike here in the PDML where it is possible to see the sender’s email address.) stan > On Mar 31, 2016, at 2:53 PM, Darren Addy <[email protected]> wrote: > > I agree, Larry.
