Just wanted to pass along a quick story...

Someone on another (non-photo) forum was getting unnecessarily bullied today and my first reaction was to jump in and try to calm the waters. OSP is rubbing off on me! It got me thinking that OSP, even on its worst days, isn't nearly as nasty as other forums can be.

We should remember how great this place is.

And THAT is why I only post here*. This is an awesome group. I have learned a tremendous amount...not just about photography, but about how to treat people and do what's right.







*I may lurk at FM and occasionally P.N ( have posted there but extremely rarely), but NEVER DWF. See dealer for details. Your mileage may vary. Not all buyers will qualify. Tax, license and D700 extra.

Yeah, Jeff was a total jerk before discovering OSP. laughing.gif

A year later, he's bringing a mini-keg to OSP photowalks. thumbsup.gif

I feel nicer. Maybe you're meaner because your Mac is slow. smile.gif
Paul@lauraeatonphoto
LOL it isn't slow.. it's like driving a 911 turbo without using the turbo... It's faster than most, but not as fast as its potential.

You know where the bullying gets bad? YouTube! People are really mean there. Not to mention dumb.
