Ok, let's start from scratch (the beginning):
#1. Early this morning after turning on my PC, in my email file, I could see that someone upon the UHH website had posted a message..
#2. When reading the OP's posted message, it could be seen that it was a valid question whereas the OP was asking for information about a good portrait lens for the OP's friend to use on the friend's camera.
#3. After reading the OP's question, I responded by sending a reply which I thought would be of help whereby the info I had provided could be passed on by the OP to the OP's friend ~ yet, I had neglected to notice that the OP's question had provided info stating that the OP's friend did not have a camera with a full size sensor which, then, made my info not so good because my response was of such whereby I had responded in such a way whereas I was thinking the OP's friend had a camera with a full size sensor.
#4. Then, you had jumped in and found it necessary to correct me for my failing to notice that the OP's post was asking for a lens for taking portraits with a camera not having a full size sensor.
#5. After just having gotten out of bed and not sleeping well last night, my response to the OP was faulty due to my not being quite awake, but I had taken an exception for your expending your time to find it necessary to send a message to me correcting me for my oversight.
#6. I feel that had you just let it go, all would had ended well, but when you go out of your way to go off subject to correct a post that wasn't sent to you in the first place, you were out of line and you must also know that few if any really care about that which you had written trying to make me ~ as you put it, "appear to be a fool" for not having read your post that you had sent to the OP earlier..
#7. Next, I have followed up by checking when you had first signed onto the UHH website or when you had first become a member of UHH which was over two years ago and have found that you have initiated only 9 posts of your own, but it is of my opinion, after seeing that you have posted hundreds of messages responding to others, many of which are doing that which you do best ~ which is challenging others on their posts or you are at your very best when debating issues of which others have posted. Then, it was comical to had seen that you had even delved into the subject of watermarks, etc, of which was another one of your complaints.
#8. Perhaps, there are some of us upon this site that would like to see you post a photograph that you had taken because, as of now, your are best known for casting judgments, but you seem to never post a photo so that we can justify our thinking which may tell us that you actually do have some photography expertise ? AND, I am certain that you don't want to be compared to a baby robin which is best known for squawking; yet, having scrawny little bird legs and nothing to back up anything that is said ~ as with the baby robin who had (squawked) way too much ! 8-)
#9. Now, with all of the aforementioned said, Please, I ask that you use caution in the future to not respond or post to my posts that were intended for someone other than you !
#10. May peace be with thee and may thou now go forth and thee not post a response to me ~ ever ~ that is, whenever I have posted a response to others....
Try to have a great day and I send you my best regards.
