You say you want to discuss photography. Does this not include anything technical? Does it not include model releases? What exactly does it include? Films? Developing times? Composition? Lighting? Social relevance? Historical perspective? I put up three Leica photographs for discussion and have received several helpful comments but I don't recall any from you. How do you want to discuss photography? Would you put up some of your own photographs for discussion if you don't want to discuss mine? Give us some topics to discuss! You are so concerned about wasting bandwidth and ISP time. I might understand this if you were in a foreign country and had to pay by the byte, but I believe you are in the USA. Unlimited ISP time is available for about $9 a month. If I figured that out per second, it would be too small to measure. If it takes you longer than a couple of seconds to decide whether to delete a message, perhaps you should take a speed reading course. I am not normally an argumentative person. People who know me would tell you that I am shy and retiring, but your complaining is getting on my nerves. You have wasted more band width complaining about wasting band width! Robert asked a legitimate question about model releases in connection with Leica photography. To me it is discourteous to complain that he did not change the header to ask this question. It certainly pertains to Leica photography which is a very broad topic. If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. If you don't have any constructive suggestions, don't complain. Go out and take photographs with your Leicas for awhile. It's bound to improve your mood.
