I didn't ask anyone what their opinion was. There is a question in the title. "How is it done". That's all I was interested in. Too many people on here do not read the title or half of the OP. Take as an example; someone will explain that they have numerous Nikon lens, and they want to know which (Nikon) camera would be good for an upgrade. 3 out of the first 4 responses will be be about how good this Canon is or Sony when the OP was about Nikon. This type of thing happens on here all the time, and others have complained about it numerous times. However He did the trick I have no idea; and it was a sad story about their Daughter. In the past couple of years I have lost My Wife to cancer and then My Pet companion to congestive heart failure, and just 3 weeks ago My Wife's Pet that I still had past away to old age I assume. I'm not looking for any kind of sympathy so don't even go there; however when You get to be older (76) and you suddenly realize that you are alone again you look at things differently. The story about their Daughter bothered me and then I got an offensive post right away. SorrYy, it pissed me off. It seems at times that this forum is getting as bad as Facebook sometimes, especially from a lot of people who have just recently signed up with this site within the past year, and have very few previous posts. A lot of them sound like they just signed up here to give snotty answers and cause trouble or hard feelings. I've had enough of that crap in my life. A lot of people on this site are as helpful and friendly as they can be, and then there are others that look down on others or just like to be trouble makers.

Your post isn't addressed to me specifically, but its part of a thread that I was, until now, following.

Maybe you should have a read of the 17th Century Nun's Prayer, in particular the line: "Keep me reasonably sweet; I do not want to be a sour old person—some of them are so hard to live with and each one a crowning work of the devil".

I come to this forum for education and entertainment, following a hobby I enjoy, not to tolerate the offensiveness of some bad-tempered, ill-mannered person like you.

I don't usually block people or add them to the IGNORE list, but in your case, I'll be delighted to make an exception.

Bob, agreed, as I've seen previously, he can be very reasonable & personable. You, like Walter, have been on the forum for a while, far longer than I.

I grow tired of the internet generally allowing people to hide semi-anonymously on forums and the like, saying whatever comes into their heads which frequently it isn't something they would say face to face. Not because they aren't "strong" enough to do so, but simply because they can get away with it, without being called out.

Asking people to be civil shouldn't be too much to expect. From an older person, someone who provides an example to others, this is even more critical.

A person may be generally pleasant enough, perhaps someone who has been through a lot personally, perhaps a war veteran or a deeply appreciated medical volunteer, possibly a great father, who knows?

I have no insight into his life, no knowledge of the person at all, but the overriding impression left is that of the south end of a north facing horse.

It seems to me that as you touch other people's lives, however peripherally, however briefly, you either improve that life or not. In death, you live on as memory - good or bad - within others.

Entirely too philosophical - next topic please!
