Wanted to let people know that Mike emailed me to let me know that
his last OT post, got him in hot water with Phil, and he got
banned. He said to tell you: "later, take care and I'll be back!"
And along with him went the thread. While it was OT (although
obviously intellectual property threads have some relevance to
photography) I for one am pretty POed that the thread was deleted
without any notice posted to the forum. I put thought into my
replies in that thread. While I have very different views about
intellectual property and art than most people here, it seems, I
enjoyed the discussion and am sorry to see it go. Deleting threads
like this shows a lack or respect for the posters.
Before anyone replies with a "this is Phil's site" message, yes I
know as the owner here he is god and can do as he pleases. That
doens't make it nice, or right. It gives me one message: don't
bother posting anything I care about here, or put much thought in
messages. Continue doing as I have been doing: scan for the
occasional tid-bit of useful info, post the occasional message when
I have an answer someone may be looking for, but don't care or get
involved in the forum as a whole.
Anyone know of a good, active, forum to read? rec.photo.digital is
worse than average, and that's saying a lot for usenet!
