Does anyone else find many of these posts banal?

I agree- if you 'wish' for a 'club'... start your own... see who follows... will be a lonely place

this is an open forum and is seems... for better or worse this is what we get...

i moved to ff from 4/3 and this has been a useful place - for me...

sure we have to wade thru some codswallop, twaddle and even some bafflegab from time to time....

do what i do...

simply skimm the posts - use the ignore feature - and do not get caught up in the meaningless nonsense which is easy to do...

i have a few dopes on ignore...

get off your 'puter... grab your gear, whatever it is for your non ff owners... and go shoot!
