I didn't see it as "civility" so much as a refreshing attempt to talk about aspects of photography that have become rare here. If the camera, lens, and filter topics were in their own section, main discussion would be a lonely place
Am curious if you looked at the OP's topic list?
No I hadn't. Maybe reinforces our discussion.
Digressing just a little.
I have a set list of topics I subscribe to on UHH. It's been added to over the years of course. Years past I would get as many as 3-4 pages of 'new' discussions each morning.
