It got pretty bad a few years ago but then people cleaned up their act
and things cooled down. Can't we just disagree with folks in a civil
manner?

After a Lifetime in the photography business, I am NOT going to let
anybody *question my credentials.* I studied at the best schools, and
worked for the best companies, and was rewarded with steady
employment.

I am the Real Deal. Now someone comes along, the *hobby* type, and
questions my judgment, that is fine and dandy. But I won't take
ridicule because someone else is jealous.

Nor will many of us take your rude, and inappropriate rejoinders. You
are now merely a footnote to history here.

Excellent.

I spent 60 years perfecting my performance in my chosen profession,
and you throw the book away because you don't like the style of
writing. This speaks VOLUMES about your intelligence (or lack
thereof).

So now the NEXT generation, YOU and your cohorts, will go about
reinventing the wheel by yourselves, making all the mistakes your
forebearers made, AGAIN, and the cycle will repeat itself.

I'll leave you all to die in your own cesspool of ignorance. Pity to
waste what I've learned over the years on people such as found here.
