p.7 #1 · I am never coming back here again


I hate to burst your bubble, but I think you violated one of your own rants.

6) People who have absolutely no counting skills. They are all over the place and they disgust me. You missing any fingers? No, then what the hell is your problem? Buy an abacus or quit posting stupid enumerated lists.

Then later you said you just wanted to list 10 things.
You started at 0. Which means that's 11 =)

Think I'll sign out for a week and wait for Paul's return. There's not much that can top his post!

Hand holding the 1200 5.6? Is this doable? I'm going to an Airshow and I don't want to lug my Velbon tripod, the one that came free with my video camera, it's so heavy.
Hey if Arnold can do it .. so can you.
Hey if I take my 600mm, 400mm, and 70-200 Put them together with duct tape and tin cans will I get 1070 to 1200 is

This type of post just shows you belong to the exact same group of people you are complaining about

--If you don't like a post or are not interested -- don't reply to it. You are not forced to react to everything.

Unfortunately --because the Net is so much more accessible these days (Netiquette is a forgotten word) you are going to get a lot more teen and pre-teen youngsters posting any sort of garbage --but since you've been a member here quite a long time you should be able to ignore rubbish posts.

If you really are ++iss+d off just don't post -- what is YOUR REAL POINT here.

Cheers

This thread is hilarious!

Here's my favorite:

"I just bought an EOS 1DS MkII and I've never owned a camera before. My pictures aren't sharp or very good, what am I doing wrong?"


Somebody please tell me this isn't true....

And yes I have a problem with people spending thousands of $$ on gear and don't find the shutter button....

one of my traumatic moments in a photo shop:
Customer: (holding a canon DSLR) "why can't one take pictures looking at the LCD?"
Salesman: "I don't know, would actually be pretty handy, wouldn't it....?"

Aahh!!! One of them needs a 'my first sony'-digicam and the other should be fired!

Since Paul isn't with us would now be a good time to post some pix? You know, those cat photos I just took with the 1DsMkII and sigma 50 2.8?

Melor,

Have you run out of your medication?

Perhaps you're taking this site too seriously?

Were you prone to torchering little kittens when you were a boy?

Did ole Uncle Joe spend too many late nights with you in your bedroom when you were a young lad?

Did you know there are at least 3 new drugs that can treat erectile dysfunction?

Perhaps a week away and time with your shrink could benefit you, sir

Where is the love Melor?

Where you, or are you a postal worker?

Have a good day Melor.

This has to be one of the best rants I have seen in a while. I needed the laugh.

FM Forum moderators need to make this a sticky

Maybe we should form 2 new Canon Forums - one forum dedicated to (1) Busy Pros and dedicated amateurs who don't want to filter through the senseless threads and (2) the other forum dedicated to people with no clue who can write as many senseless mumbo jumbo as they want :-) :-) :-).

I think this will provide some relief for us all, since the Canon Forum is so busy. It should allow people to focus their surfing of the boards a bit more effectively, and to more efficiently find information on the items or issues they are interested in. ;-p

Hey guys, I added to my original post to help you understand the spirit this post was made. Thanks to those of you who understood my humor. I have no current beef with anyone or anything, but the day is young... Just kidding... Take care and thanks for reading. I wish my photos got this many replies!!!!

Great thread Paul. I am sure many of us needed to lighten up a bit.

Stay with Mark (Sectarian). You are the same types: good photographers with a bad attitude. Ever thought what Roger Cavanagh would think of all this? I saw on your website that Roger and you are publishers in co. I can't believe that Roger, who is such a noble Englishman, will appreciate your kind of attitude. Always take into account that he will turn his back to you because of this kind of BS. And what about your customers? I said this to Mark as well, always remember that what you do on the WEB also could reflect on your real

I would like to thank you for the compliment about my photography. I don't consider myself in the same league as Mark, but I appreciate the thought. As far as the attitude goes, you don't know me at all and have no idea about my attitude, but I will take your compliment as a photographer even though the rest of your reply is unfounded. Thanks!!! If you actually got to know me, you would love me like everyone else does.
