Y'all need to lighten up a notch or two.

I guess it depends on how you feel about shameless self promotion. There is a time and place. I wouldn't come to a wedding you were shooting and hand out my wedding photographer card because it would be wrong. It's about ethics. Most of the photographers here come to talk shop and obviously we can all have a "who's D**k is the biggest contest" but posting pictures where people are congregating to view them is the norm and follows a code of respect. Some people post pictures here but talk about the tech of the shot, bring you in on the technique incorporating the usage of gear we are all discussing which can be informative to prospective buyers and owners of said gear alike and that is great. I don't really care all that much but having so many threads about this is a bit frustrating and reading through the whining is a joke so why not enforce the rules so that chaos can be somewhat averted. I'm starting to get the feeling NeilJones is a multiple personality who has like 50 dpreview accounts and all these threads are just him arguing with himself haha! Happy holidays
