I'm kinda new here as a member but I've been a long-time lurker and while I know it may be perceived as impertinent but I just gotta ask, what is the purpose of this thread, what is it accomplishing, and why would anyone serious about photography want to participate in it beyond an opportunity to make the point of "mine's bigger than yours?" Who benefits from this discussion?
Why in the lord's name would you make this comment. You could just continue to lurk. Or, you could not read something that you have no interest in. I, for one at least, have found this an interesting thread, and I get no sense similar to yours. You will find that positive comments are better than negative ones. I often find that if I have nothing good to say then I should just read on. Unfortunately, I have made an exception to my own "rule" in this case!
