My point was I see no difference.......
I don't either. Could be monitor, graphics card, eyes. These 3 things probably trump what effects resizing has by a lot. I resize all my good photos from 6000x4000 to 1920x1080(HD) or 3840x21609(4K) for display on my big screen HD TV's. They have no noticeable degradation and always look as good or better than the originals do on my PC.
That doesn't mean the issues don't exist, just that for you and I, and most I'd guess, it's simply a non-issue.

My 84 year old brother, single, no kids just passed on. I had the pleasure of going through a few thousand photo's he had in boxes. I tossed at least 90% of them because they were of people and places I didn't recognize. About 99% of landscapes, flowers and wildlife meant absolutely nothing to me... tossed. Made me even more aware that LOTS of my pictures have no meaning to anyone but me. My kids will be tossing lots.

Linda, I think you've been around long enough to know that whatever subject is broached there will be those who are going to find no use for it other than to point out its irrelevance (to them). Some will tell us that since it's of no interest to them, it should be of no interest to anyone. I find that attitude curious, but rife.
Well said.
I'm tired of reading this so everyone should stop because I can't control myself...
People should be able to figure out that the more a subject is found interesting, the more times it will pop up and the more pages it will accrue. If they don't want a subject to be discussed repeatedly and for many pages, post something in which no one is interested.
Meanwhile, there is always the "next" and the "unwatch" buttons.

Reminds me of Roy Underhill and the Woodwrights Shop. Neanderthal wood workers enjoying working wood w/o electric. I guess they (relatively small group) enjoy it a great deal, possibly for the same reasons a small group prefer film over digital.
Personally, like almost everyone, I hate planning a table top by hand with a jack plane, and absolutely love digital camera's and digital editing. I know I'm not about to buy stock in film company unless they also deal in digital.

Not sure but will be interesting to see what some think about it. Photo's are interesting and some look photoshopped (I know you didn't PS them.) I'm thinking perhaps the car hit a bump, or you moved the camera causing various streaks besides the regular forward car movement.

In some places more than others. I'm on a couple of other forums, and there is none of this nonsense. I've seen members apologize because they thought a comment might have been taken the wrong way.
Courtesy takes no effort. If you want to be mean, you have to work at it.

That's partly true but I've seen only one forum over the last 40 years where almost no "vitriol" took place. It was a very small group of around 30-40 people participating and only about 10 of them on a daily basis. Nowhere near the participation on here.
People can easily get their hackles up over almost anything. There is a huge difference between talking in person and the written word. Body and facial expressions are absent in the written communication and many (most) people are anything but experts in the written word.
A few actually try to be insulting, but most just don't recognize how they sound in writing. I've been doing this a long time and I still have to work hard not to be offending. More than once I've gone back and read a post I made and think, my, that was a bit harsh...
I don't try too hard if I think someone is trying to be offensive. Life on the forums is not always sugar and spice, and as been said a few million times, you need a thick skin.

Amen to that.
No one likes outsiders trashing their group. It's bad form from the get go and is particularly bad when trashing a bunch of nice old guys in a photo forum, and an entire country full of admirable, amiable, charming, considerate, courteous, delightful, helpful, gentle, gracious, fine and dandy folks like us! Well, most of us anyhow...

Guns didn’t change? I’m pretty sure they weren’t bringing assault rifles.
Assault weapons were around long before I was in high school. I don't have a clue what rifles the gun clubs were using, but I know the guns were easily capable of k*****g, but no one was k**led. Guns could be deadly then and now. What changed is the people using them.

Balderdash! I don't agree or disagree with all his statements, don't particularly wish to discuss them at all. YOU on the other hand, do.
He specifically said "(a country where children have the Constitutional Right to take guns to school to k**l their teacher and other pupils!") That's a direct attack on our constitution and county. Denying that is weird.
As for the 2nd amendment, when I was in high school, kids brought rifles to class for the gun club meetings after school. No one minded, no one got shot. Today guns are no where near schools and kids are getting shot. Guns didn't change, people changed.

You sure attribute a lot of motives for people you don't even know. You sound like the people you are criticizing.
No need to know them personally. I know enough from their many posts and forum behavior to correctly attribute their nonsense.
As for sounding like them, yes, when you jump in the mud with them, you'll get dirty.
If getting dirty bothers you, stay out of the water.
My original post dealt directly with photography. For those that didn't see that, I explained in that original post (and subsequent posts) how it related to both taking pictures, and editing pictures. Clearly it belonged it the Main Photography forum, not in a NON-photography forum.

Making negative comments about ones political opponents does not mean one is "b***hing about our country."
He was "b***hing" about our forum (too vitriolic) and our country/constitution (a country where children have the Constitutional Right to take guns to school to k**l their teacher and other pupils!")and political opponents (Yes and elect a criminal con merchant as President." The last is not only b***hing, but specifically against admin. rules. If you don't consider that "b***hing" your definition of it is different than it's normal usage.

I agree with you John. I am also approaching the limit. Life is too short to listen to people b***hing!
Cool. This guy starts of b***hing about our forum and our country, and naturally people b***h back at him.
You are NOT listening, you are READING. Why are you reading this "vitriol" if life's too short?

Don't need proof. If you've been here any length of time and have even minimal experience with echo mail, newsgroups and forums you know first hand UHH is polluted with very friendly folks. A few old grouches doesn't make it unfriendly. If you h**e old grumpy people, then this hangout is probably a bad place for you anyway.
This guy trashed our hangout, and our country. He will NOT be missed.
