While many consider the flood of spam the only threat to the group, I

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.
