PING: Steve Kramer - Photography Advice from the Master

Dear Steve,

Heard you'd started posting on the newsgroups again recently.

Firstly, I'd like to say a big welcome back to the group as I'm sure
many here have missed your presence lately. Such an experienced and
vocal photographer are few and far between these days on usenet and many
of the unmoderated groups are festooned with trolls. It is good to see
you back in the fold.

And now to business, I am hoping you can provide me a recommendation on
a Compact System Camera. I am wondering if these can be a viable
alternative to the bulky SLRs and get good quality snaps.

I await your expert feedback.

Yours,
PP

PS. How are you faring in Singapore, enjoying life in the fast lane still?

Who is Steve Kramer, and who is this fawning twerp trying to kiss his ass?

And what has "rec.knives" got to do with any of this? (Since I suspect that
the answer is "Nothing", I took the liberty of removing it from the follow-up
list.)

It seems we have not seen hide, nor hair of Steve Kramer since April
2006, when he rode off into the wild oblivion the cyber universe.

As to Paul Parker, this is his first post since November 2007, bringing
the total of his posts to r.p.e.35mm to two.
He does not appear to be a regular contributor to rec.knives, as this
is his only post there in his guise as "Paul Parker".

Steve Kramer seems to have been a regular contributor there (r.k.) from
2005 without break until until his last post there on 1/19/2008.
Then somebody using the name "Steve Kramer" appeared in r.k. in July
2010, and has been involved as the protagonist in a continuing
character assassination flame war ever since, and Mr. Parker may well
be a part of that.
If that is the real "Steve Kramer" or not, who knows?

 

******Seems the "master" is still a little shy to respond Paul.
Perhaps he will contact you off line so to speak rather than make an
ass of himself here again.
