I'm very sorry to waste bandwidth with this but this is my last post to the list if things don't change soon...

[snip extensive Nikon bashing] Mr Fortier, I most certainly DO NOT welcome another whiner to the Nikon list...and I hope other regulars feel the same. I'd like to ask you and the other posters of USELESS information why you'd imagine getting cooperation in your quest to learn about Nikon gear after wasting our time with your whining. None of your recent posts had any constructive information for the Nikon users subscribed to this list hoping to get some insight into their Nikon gear.... from your writing, I'd guess that Nikon will never catch up to Canon - at least in YOUR opinion.... The noise level here is really getting very close to making the list more trouble than it is worth to siphon off anything useful that accidentally slipped in between the Canon and other non-Nikon posts. PLEASE email me OFF LIST if you'd like to discuss non-Nikon issues. Done venting now, Jeff Kelley V.P. Engineering The Paradigm Group, Inc http://www.paradigmgroup.com [EMAIL PROTECTED]
