But Scott has the point correct. I thought the quote came from In The Heat of the Night, and was uttered by Rod Steiger...but hey ho. I feel some responsibility in all this controversy over railfans and "pros" and the demise of SOTM, for (a) bringing up the spectre of shooting trains in the midday sun in my original "Reflecting on the Quality of Light" message, and (b) the last SOTM vote, where three of the five "winners", with two votes apiece, were mine. I have no idea whether I came to the party early enough to be one of the original 30...don't really care. What I do care about is seeing some well executed photographs of interesting subjects, and picking up some tips which will improve my results behind the viewfinder. However, I did think the idea of SOTM was good...and may be successful in the future...SPORRS just needs more members so that the 2% who will do more than lurk is a big enough number to get some statistically reasonable results. 2%, by the way, is about the average ratio of active posters to lurkers on most CompuServe forums, including the TrainNet forum which I help to maintain. ...John Reay, Bowmanville, ON [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/John_Reay/cdnmlw.htm Assistant sysop, CompuServe TrainNet forum ======================================================= -> SPORRS: 'Serious Photographers Of Railroad Related Subjects' -> Web Site: http://www.anet-stl.com/acphotog/sporrs/ -> Message © 1998 SPORRS® - All Rights Reserved =======================================================
