Firstly, I hope that you noticed the smiley. Secondly, as I already told Jeff, I have nothing against Flickr at all. Just that it's very hard to see the forest between the trees (straight translation from Dutch), meaning that there is so much BS work on it (a bit like YouTube) that it's getting harder and harder to find some good photography on it. The succes of digital photography is applaudable, but it does have some disadvantages. Nothing elitist about that.
