Dear Robert,
As a subscriber to the LUG, and I am certain many other photo discussion
sites, you will be aware that there are a few contributors (if one can refer
to them as that)  whom cannot contain their 'bitchiness' and sometimes
outright 'nastiness' when someone with a little knowledge comes along to
share it.
Witness the usual vilification of Erwin Puts and Tom Abrahamsson (both
extremely learned contributors to the LUG).
You need a very thick skin here -- stick around, and keep publishing! A few
will always attack you.......several hundred members of the LUG were
deafening in their silence (they just chose to read, listen, think, maybe
learn, or simply ignore if they disagreed but didn't feel the necessity to
start a 'flame' )
Best regards,
Ross (still learning, and expect to for another 40-50 years or so)
