Skip your posts. never!! They are largely interesting, often
informative, always entertaining and you create wonderful photos.
Getting back to your defending the fact that you didn't read the
posts...it is so like you to defend yourself even when the point
made is valid. Had you read the posts, mine in particular, you
would never have written and I quote, "I don't think you need to be
in macro mode for a 3 feets distance, but not sure," because you
would have known the answer by seeing that it was already posted,
unless of course you only believe what you and not others write.
Your posts often give one or the other impression... either that
you don't believe others or don't read the thread. Of course, that
is just my opinion much the same as it is only your opinion when
you counterpoint with, "People are more used to hear about spot
focus." You no more know that to be fact than I know it not to be.
Yes, you were trying to help and many of your posts are most
helpful but it still doesn't negate the fact that you said the same
things that I and others have already said. There were value to
those posts but, in fact, yours added nothing additional. At least,
I took the time and effort to go to the manual and get the exact
distances for macro and regular focus modes. You didn't! All you
came up with was, "I don't think you need to be in macro mode for a
3 feets distance, but not sure."
My whole point to you was, "If you are going to add a post to the
thread, add additional information, don't parrot the same
information in different words." Take the time to read the posts
already offered so that you don't meaninglessly add to the thread
clutter.
Respectfully, (you seem to have missed that at the end of my
previous post) you insult yourself equally when you say to me,
"..what was your purpose? Nothing good I can see," because if that
were so your post provided even less information information than
my post.
I intended no insult. I am sorry that my frankness and succint
writing style was misinterpreted. Criticism can be misinterpreted
as unpleasantness. I will try to amend my writing style in future
so as not to cause you distress and make you feel that way.
RESPECTFULLY,
