I just realized that Marty was the one who posted one of the very
first reviews of the C2100UZ.

I've got to add Fritz (that's Fritz...without a last name) to the
list of people that have been so helpful. Here is a link to a site
that everyone will enjoy. A lot of work went into this site. It
really helped alot of people at the time.

Last night I covered 1999-2002 in messages here in the Olyfc forum.

Now granted I did not read every "Can someone tell me where to" or
"Doe the work with the if you get a " or the "Will
Everyone Shut UP!" messages....

But I did see the turning points in this forum. In the beginning
it was really a few early adopters and the messages were almost all
techie stuff with an almost Droid approach to the answers.

When the digital camera began to enter the prosumer world with a
fervor then more and more of the questions were pleas and cries of
help to those "techies" from the beginning days.

Later some of those "newbies" became semi-techies, but they
remember when they were newbies so they began to be the "threads"
that created the "family" aspect of this forum.

Every family has its disputes and even this one had to have the
"father" aka. Phil Askey (owner of dpreview) come to spank the
misbehaving ones and set the law down.

During those times the forum suffered and the family did too. A
few people went on "Being There" for others in public and behind
the scenes.

Some just consistently provided technical information and provided
the "anchor" to the technical quality of the forum.

I saw repeatedly...Barry Carter,Maxven, Misha, , newby, Forrest,
Sandman, Bob S, Juli Valley, Daniella, 3DTim, B A H, Dwight1973,
kim r, Jim Kelly, Debbie Lothes, fsw, kwood, DomDP, UZ'pShootERS,
Roberta, Matt Chase, Brian,...

I believe Barry Carter (2,448 msgs, 17 msgs per week, 2.7 yrs) is
the member with the longest tenure and is still active with us.

The first Olyfc "collection" of photos was here when Bob S. asked
everyone to post their favorite photo of 2001.

And the Olyfc Joined the Canon, Fuji and Sony forums to produce the
"Best of 2001" show :

Please excuse me if I missed your name. Many folks never started a
thread, but they posted responses to threads, so I might have
missed them as I could not read all the messages - now 206,000+
messages in 26,000+ threads.

There are many in the Olyfc Hall of Honor...

I am not qualified to name them all, so if I missed someone please
help out by adding the ones I missed...

While the numbers of his posts aren't high, the comments of Lin are
by far the most rellevent IMHO....As far as I know he's the only
one that has all the cameras & lenses along with the photographic
knowledge & has been able to relate my particular cameras results &
features with the higher end cameras...He should deffinately be on
this list long before me....

As far as bringing the fun to the forum I think most of the credit
goes to newby. I used to wake up every morning checking his posts
before going to work. It made a nice start to the day.
