My dear friend, you need to try Portuguese Olive Oil.
Some of the best in the world.

Well Austfalia only produces wool, coal and opals I think, everything else comes from China or Japan. Anything good we grow food wise is sold OS and we buy back crap.

Jctriguy and GDan came in one pack - since one is gone, the other one is gone, too. Coincidence? Don't miss any of them. The forum is a much better place since.

This images was taken from Delphi in Greece, the town in the distance is Itea. All of the trees in the flat are olive trees. Its hard to imagine people using so much olive oil. Its like seeing all the vineyard average in central California. Who drinks all that wine? I prefer beer myself and I think a lot of beer gets consumed but I've yet to see a hopyard. Where does that get made? I think Dan would prefer this discussion.

We will. Gonna be in Albufeira next year for a month. Just booked it. Second time there. Had a great time last time we visited. Alte was one of our favourite towns.

Some of the nut/fruit orchards along I-80 between SF and Tahoe have been replaced with hops. Their sign proudly says "We grow beer"

I don't know if chez is banned from the Canon forum or not, but he didn't hesitate to "like" a post about dissing a few forum members, like this one. Maybe that's a reason to keep him banned from this forum?


Back on topic, I hope the two are doing well, as they were a good thing for this forum.

Is it possible to get banned from one board only?

Why don't you find out for us, Illya? Start a DR thread comparing Canon and Sony

Yes ... member(s) have been banned from the Canon board a while back. Fred has that capability to isolate to the single board vs. the site. He likewise has the ability to make it temporary (i.e. wake up call) or permanent.

Fred doesn't like doing that (it is a form of censorship) ... but, push come to shove, he places the dignity and respect of fellow FM'ers high enough to do so on occasion.

I suspect some FM members suffer "temporary burnout" or maybe seeking different/more attention in another forum such as Facebook. I have noticed a few photographers who have posted excellent pics before and who are now gone/missing. Maybe they're still lurking.

Dan was never banned from any of the boards. On the contrary, his experience and knowledgeable contribution over the years will always be appreciated.

I would have tried that only on the Sony forum; I believe I cannot last a single day without the exposure to the FM Canon boards so getting banned from here would probably be the end of me. Yeah, I have no life.
Anyhoo, thanks to Fred for the explanation.

Try the San Luis valley in south central Colorado. Huge fields. I do acknowledge being a born and bred CO high country ranch boy, so it's quite likely I lack taste and discrimination. OTOH while I'm nowhere near as sophisticated as the eastern aristocracies of the big cities (both US and CA), I can tell you - with feet planted on great rock - what the sky and earth look and feel like from 14,000'.

Enjoy Dan and the significant contributions he has made to my growth. As for the "trolls"? Hide Me works well.

The trolls of FM have been replaced by Trump looking at G Dan's Twitter feed. I guess tweeting about Trump and politics is more fun than engaging in discussions here on camera gear.

Yes, unfortunately it seems for every 1 photo Dan posts there are 9 or 10 anti Trump tweets and it's extremely tiring to sift though. I also muted New Yorker's twitter account because it was nothing but Trump and I don't f**king care.

It is sad to see such disrespect in his absence. Dan and i have had some fights over the years, but we got over it and the mutual respect has grown since. He is one of the members here I surely would like to meet in person.
