Can't speak to the better camera system -- your post does however remind me of something that happened a lot in my first profession, I was a golf course manager for 32 years, can't tell you how many members (country club) bought a new set of clubs with the mind set that a new set of clubs would improve their golf game ---- not. I a certainly not questioning your skill in the art of taking pictures, my point is that sometimes - not matter what the "hobby" - "skill" - etc. a person may look at the equipment when the equipment may not be the problem????? With taking pictures, can't begin to count the number of variables that effects the quality of a picture -

So are you saying we should end the thread ... as long as you have the last word? That's funny!

I know - right after I typed I agree that we need to end it I just kept typing ---- I thought you need to stop typing but I couldn't - no excuse. I'm really done now, (or until he post something again
)
I agree with Rab-Eye, we are beating a dead horse and should end this thread. I will say this then be done, I am not going to add him to an ignore list, I am very new to this forum so hope I am not out of line for doing what I am going to do. Although I don't like what he says I could live with it if he did it to the guys/gals on this forum that have been here for a long time and know to ignore him, they know that he has mental problems and think nothing about the crap that he says. But Jim Bob does it to everyone, he bashed me on a couple post before I realized who he was, he has bashed people that have started there question with "I am new here", then bam - Jim Bob strikes. I think a person that is new to this forum should be made aware of Jim Bob and told that he is not what this forum is about, they should be told that every question is valid and 99.99% of the guys/gals are here because they want to answer those questions -- no matter how simple or insignificant it may seem. I am going to write a paragraph explaining who Jim Bob is and what he does, I will tell a newby that there questions valid and will be answered -- etc. etc. It will be something that I just copy and paste when I see JB at work, down side is that I don't read every post so I am sure there will be a bunch that will slip by. If any of you think this is really a bad idea, please let me know.
Question - I can't find it, is there really a place we can go to put someone on an ignore list, how do I get to it.
Thanks

You are probably correct, but I did put him on my Ignore list and sent him a congratulatory note on being the first one to make that list. The cool thing is he can't even respond to that private message!
Question - Since good-ol Jim Bob has not responded to any of this conversation he cannot see any of this? Is that correct? If so, that is to bad - not that it would matter.

For some people, belittling others is the only way they think they feel good about themselves. In reality, what they are feeling about themselves is not good, which only fuels their vitriol. Personally, I would send the guy a private message telling him he is now on my ignore list. If he is flooded with those messages from the membership, perhaps he'll have an epiphany. Not that I'm holding my breath.
Just my two cents.

Yep, I feel that he has some serious self esteem issues - would love it if your idea of everyone sending him a private message would work, but a guy like that does not have the capacity to feel epiphany, he is a very young sole.
Thanks
MT - I know, I know -- have had numerous people tell me just to ignore the *&^$%^*, I am not a good ignorer. (sorry don't think that is a word) What really bugs me is he posted one of his "f - you that is a dumb question" response to a guy that said "I am brand new to UHH". What is a new member to think when he gets one of Jim Bobs "your a dumb shit for asking that question" post? You say admin won't boot him because of the $, I wonder how many people have left because of him?, maybe none - maybe several??? As I just explained to a guy that sent me a private message, I have many rules that I try to live by in life and one is "treat people like you want to be treated", just goes against everything I am made of to see what this guy post. I am sure I will takes everyone's advice and just start ignoring the "guy", orrrrr - may have a standard message that I send to whoever he is pissing at the moment ---
Thanks

Jim Bob's response is unfortunate as we are here to learn and share. If you knew the answer you would not have asked the question.
We all have our areas of expertise, let's be kind and helpful. Sarcasm and belittling have no place here.
Jeff, Thank you for commenting to "Jim Bob's" sick and disgusting response to yet another valid question. I have been rather vocal on this nuts "post" - not that it has done any good, some time ago after I said something about one of his attempts to dismiss and belittle the person that was asking a question, I wrote a rather long response to him and the UHH group. I got some very nice responses telling me that I just have to ignore him, I really appreciate the advice I got and know that it was sent with the best of intentions, but I guess my question is why ignore a guy like this. I am new to UHH, have been on other forums like this in the past and seems like guys like this eventually get booted. Years ago on Nikonians there was a guy like this (maybe the same guy) and he was booted off. I guess what I don't understand (which I have said before) is why someone feels that they have to say the type of things that are said, it is almost like he is trying to make someone feel bad for posting a question. He has responded to a couple of my post, he is proud of himself for the things he says ---????
"What you want is contradictory and otherwise unworthy of serious response."
The turd that won't flush ----

Didn't realize you had one. I'm sure you can use all the help you can get.
Can't imagine you are lost on the point I was making, you as well as everyone that has read my post know what the point was. A fictitious name, your location is “in hiding” (can understand why) must give you the courage to say the things you do knowing that the anonymity of sitting behind computer screen, typing whatever you want and knowing that there is no consequences. Knowing that you will not run into any of the people you malign, knowing that you don’t personally know any of these people hence you will never have to address them face to face must give you a feeling of power. I actually feel sorry for you, you obviously have some self-esteem issues and vent that frustration on this forum by saying the things that you say.

You do me honor by quoting some of my most memorable posts. Thanks. I had forgotten about them. Just as true now as they were when originally posted. The Guru has spoken. Long live the Guru.
Thanks for proving my point!
There is a Walmart within a couple miles of my house - I avoid it at all cost. The only good thing about Walmart is the "People of Walmart" videos on YouTube.
Geezer - don't know who Wabbit was, but sounds like I better watch what I say - would hate to get banned. Speaking of which, I do regret adding the SOB comment at the end of my comments, that probably could of been left off -
I know about hanging in there, I am a contractor, I have around 20 guys that work for me, I have good customers and A holes, when you own a biz you better be able to take crap, I am excellent at letting the crap role off my back. Before I was a contractor I managed golf courses for 34 years- AT COUNTRY CLUBS. I am going to step on some toes here, but if you work for country club members and you can't take crap you better find a new profession. But in a forum like this, why should you have to??? Just don't understand why guys post the comments that they do---oh well.
Thanks
