Might be able to tell you better if you'd tell us what you mean. Do you
mean 'camera enthusiasts' just buy cameras to sit on the shelf while
'photographers' actually take photos?

So what tool were you fondling when you posted this pretentious
drivel?

Seems kind of messy to me. I suspect a competent psychiatrist could help
you a lot.

this NG in the past, but they seem to have moved to another
discussion group.

who are really camera collecters- they rarely photograph anything. But
I think the majority of folks in groups like my camera club are more
photographers than camera collectors. The mix varies, but there are
both types in most areas.

Maybe prevent him from using his razor that caused the mess in the first
place?

Of course they have, and so have many serious amateurs (those who care about
results more than about gear).

The mix here is tilting toward gear-heads, and some of those are nit-picking
axe-grinders and trolls.
Not all that much offered here these days for folks who want to take good
shots.

I suppose it's difficult to define a good shot, defining a good camera is
probably easier,
and it's easier to discuss camera specs than the intricacies of what makes a
good picture.
I think they have the same problem in the art and music worlds, I think
sport is a little
easier provided you ban drugs.

Real artists and real photographers have better things to do with their
time than pandering to the desperate needs of the snapshooting subhuman
soap-opera mentalities (i.e. trolls) that have proliferated, and now live
out their insignificant lives, in this newsgroup.
Re: "I suppose it's difficult to define a good shot, ..." Wrong. It's easy
to define a good shot and to also convey that information in text to
others--that which works and does not work. Only someone who is not a real
photographer or real artist would think that task difficult. Why then don't
they do this for you? (see previous paragraph)

Hi, Keoeeit!
Please folks, do not respond to this poster further until you are fully
aware of his background.
"FYI" is the anti-dslr- and chdk-troll, aka Keoeeit, Vern, X-Man,
Baumbadier, Casiobear, etc, ad infinitum.
He's well known for the 'attitude', and that's being kind. He can be
found on many forums, is frequently banned (eg Steve's Forums,
photography-on-the.net) and he's usually quite easy to spot, by his
withdrawn posts and images (ironic, huh?). He doesn't like leaving a
trail, but is too incompetent to not be recognised wherever he goes..
(and *still* always posts from cpinternet)
Stands out like the proverbial puppy nuts.. (O:
For further details, google "keoeeit minnesota". You'll see his posts
are often lamenting about how he lives alone...
Umm, any questions?

Now go find the 14 other servers that have been used recently. Never heard
of proxies? Like this one being used? Quite a few use it. It's fun posting
from this one to make you jump, EVERY time. You're not too bright for a
troll, are you, but then that's a given.
Thanks for proving, again, what was stated about your kind--"snapshooting
subhuman soap-opera mentalities". :-) Emphasis on "soap-opera usenet living
troll".
