Ted,

You're clearly missing the point, Ted. Why "just quickly move the camera
... and keep right on shooting" when you could put the camera down and
endlessly bitch about RF patch flare here on the LUG? Just because the
problem is easily and quickly remedied (by putting your finger over the
frame illumination window or just changing position) does NOT mean we
Luggers should be spared hundreds of bootless messages about the issue. I
for one applaud the RF patch flare complainers. Long may they wave!

Keep it up, boys!

Guy
