Hmmm, I must be lost...

I thought I had found a photography newsgroup, but it seems I must have
turned up in kindergarten instead. :-(

 

Actually there is a lot of good stuff in here, just the last week or so, the
one who live under bridges have turned up the noise. Setting up a filter
for Jews and Zionist is a somewhat workable plan.

I have learned a lot from this group over the last few months(about cameras
and photography), and have a few new bagel toppings to try as well.

All it takes is a few flaming trolls and off we go...

I hope this group doesn't go the way of other groups I've visited. The
off-topic rantings switch from background noise to center stage and sincere
contributors leave.

*If only people could force themselves to resist the urge to respond to
trolls and inflammatory messages.*

Alas, this wish has been part of Usenet since day one. Human nature is what
it is..I guess talking about it is also part of the problem. I'll shut up
now.

It's referred to as the "signal-to-noise ratio". Unfortunately the signal
(quality content) has been getting weaker and the noise (everything else) has
been getting significantly stronger for about 10 years now.

Yeah, and hadism, hadisic, jew, jewish, semite, anti-semite, dentist,
dental, tooth, tooth fairy, muslim, arab...the list grows longer every day!

 

Stick around. It's been a bad few days. How about you introduce yourself?

Cheers,
Alan

 

When the local reform school for insanely ignorant juveniles gave internet
access to the inmate trolls , the idiotic offensive off subject postings
arrived. Hopefully, the trolls will be back in their padded cells with
internet access revoked.

 

John Douglas being a prime example of pure noise. Too bad he doesn't go
somewhere else.

Hi,

Well, I'm Aaron Queenan, I've was born in Manchester and lived there until I
was ten. Moved to Brisbane, Australia with my parents and lived there
before moving to Melbourne, Australia for work. A few years ago I went over
to London, UK, and have just come to Pisa, Italy to live and work.

I have to line up with everyone else who says Tuscany is beautiful, and it's
one of the few places I've been where the postcards are of a standard I
would be proud of. Of course they're probably so good because so many good
photographers have been here to take photos. Unfortunately, I'm not working
here as a photographer, although every weekend I drive and walk around
taking heaps of photos, although I'm only at the 5 rolls a week level.
(Where DID that 50 rolls thing come from?)

I've just started scanning my photos and trying to figure out the colour
calibration of the scanner, etc. Despite being seriously into computers, I
haven't yet grasped how it all fits together. Maybe when Amazon finally
sends the books I ordered I'll know a bit more. :-D When I've got them
scanned properly I'll put up some of them on the internet.

I have enjoyed photography for years, mainly landscape (originally with a
Konica autofocus instamatic which takes surprisingly good photos) and live
musical theatre (with a borrowed SLR). A few years ago I decided that I
enjoyed photography too much to keep using such limited equipment and bought
a semi-pro collection of Canon equipment consisting of an EOS 30, three
mid-spec zooms and Hoya SMC Pro1 filters. It's been wonderful not missing
out on shots because the camera couldn't physically take them. Having the
best equipment I can afford, I know that if the photo's bad, then the
photographer must be the problem. :-D

How about you and the other regulars here?

- Aaron.

 

Welcome aboard Aaron.

Cheers,
Alan.

 

And your reply is no better...

The original poster was making a futile, yet often repeated plea for Usenet
contributors to conduct themselves in a civil manner. It won't make much of
a difference, but it's harmless. A belligerent reply does contribute to the
unwanted noise.

It always surprises me when I see people making personal remarks against
others in Usenet. I guess insulting others anonymously is difficult to
resist.

Dave

 

And your remark has contributed nothing at all. As expected.
