Many people can be rude because there is a great deal of anonymity. Whenever someone is here and talks down to me or berates me, I will set them straight.If that person points out a mistake or flaw In something I wrote, I try to be quick to apologize. We should be all here to learn from each other. However, I came to the Ugly Hedge Hog shortly after I purchased a dSLR. I am learning both digital and still goofing around with film. So I make a mistake and I learn got the next set. Occasionally, the “Admin” sets me straight. BTW, I do have a few favorites who give good insight!
