All >it takes is an AE-1 and a business card and you're in business. The only >thing worse is a real estate agent on a budget. t-nut (!?), no one is disputing michael's right to his opinion. i believe the contention arises from the way in which he expresses it. for example, if i write: "i don't give a flying f*** what you or that other a****** think of pro photographers and their s**** nikon f5s, you flaming dumb f***!" i'm liable to ruffle a few feathers here on the lug, where folks are used to more civil forms of disputation. if, on the other hand, i put it thusly: "i've dealt with many professional photographers in more than 20 years in photo retailing, and have found them to be rude and unpleasant," many luggers will still choose to differ with my opinion, but the resulting exchanges will not be peppered with the brash vulgarities we have seen coming from the aforementioned uncooth individual. guy
