You're nuts get a life. Who do you think you are Ansel Adams. There are tons of pictures posted on many different sites on the internet everyday. If someone copies one of yours and becomes rich and famous from you'll have the original with the metadata to show you are the original photographer. Chill out!
My "nuts" are fine. I treat them well and they have served me faithfully for many years.
And yes, I do consider myself an accomplished photographer, quite on the order of Ansel.
And you, and Jerryg have just displayed your endorsement of plagiarism, and outright theft. One of the considerations of ownership is that if you don't want your sh_t stolen, don't leave it on the front porch.
If you can't make the connection, the "porch" is blindly posting "stuff" on the internet. If you are not concerned about your "stuff" you do not regard it highly....
OH YES, and one other thing...
Why are you so concerned about where MtnMan lives? Are you writing his biography, or are you going after him for one of HIS posts. My presumption would be "He lives in the mountains". If he does live in the mountains and is a mountain man, I don't want to cross him in any way, regardless of what I think of his posts.
Having lived just south of the Canadian border in Northern Idaho (can you say Ruby Ridge?) and in Wyoming and Montana, I respect mountain men in all their iterations.... skinheads, Aryan Brotherhood, Rednecks, Posse Cometatis, and just plain Mountain Men as I suspect our MtnMan is.
I never saw a skinhead, Aryan Brother, Redneck, or Posse Cometatis member packing a sophisticated camera... usually just handguns, concealed or otherwise, and Assault Rifles. And I don't think there is an ice cube's chance in hell of law enforcement, ATF or any other gummint enterprise going up there and disarming them.
Enjoy the forum. It's here for everybody and everybody's opinion. I don't think much of yours, to say the least.
