Find me neither surprised nor disappointed. You obviously have an impessive breadth and depth of knowledge as well as some experience within the groves of academe, many of the potential better effects of which seem not to have rubbed off on you. The unfortunate inescapable fact is that you somehow have reached the conclusion that it be more fun to boastfully put down and bully those you clearly consider your " lessers" than to take the time to discover their actual points of confusion as well as the level at which you could best approach them to elevate their comprehension and understanding. Above all I was aghast at your boastful statement listing the expensive cameras and lenses you own as evidnce of anything other than that you were sufficiently financially flush to be able to own them. With your supposed academic background it should be obvious that that egregious boast provides absolutely no bearing on one's ability to judge either your intellect or knowledge. as Previously stated, it speaks volumes about both your value system and your self-image.
Before closing I'll take a moment to thank the senders of the many private messages of support and thanks from Hoggers who seem to have greater appreciation than you'd suspect of your level of knowledge but also frank mystification as to why your "bullying" -a word that has appeared several times - continues to be your favored route to self-aggrandizement.

I am glad that you viewed my website. Would that I and other Hoggers could have the chance to view yours...if it exists.

with appropriate regards,

Dave
