After all at this point in time we don't have "censorship" as long as it says polite and useful and family language. Along your point. Sometime ago when I did more posting and critiquing, "hopefully in assisting to make the poster a better shooter." I received an off line comment: " Who the hell are you to tell others how to do their pictures? And what experience and who gives you the right to say anything because you're a faceless name only!" Okkkkkaaaaaaayyyyyyyy! I've been put in my place! And I never saw the name ever again. Not that I recall seeing it anywhere earlier. But when one receives a message of that sort all you have to do is remember there are some extremely empty headed brainless impolite SOB's in the world. Blow it off and remember what you've done as a successful photographer during a half century of published work. So do what you were always doing because the family know you are and were helping and assisting everyone. We all continue to learn no matter how long we've been doing it. Carry on mon ami, carry on! :-) ted On Nov 29, 2007, at 10:02 AM, wrote: > A month or two back, when I was attempting to comment, > intelligently, on every one's photographs, > Since then I've felt a bit "rocked."
