No Dario! Don't go! I've been away working and just gotten home this morning so I have no idea what this is all about, but I would be so sad to see you leave the list!

OK folks, a night has passed but I don't feel so much better. When the effort exceeds the enjoyment it's time to stop, isn't it? So I'm very tired I have to explain again and again my arguments and being misunderstood most of the time. Maybe I'm not able to express my thoughts well, after all English is not my language. Also, in case someone felt insulted by me (I don't think I did, but you never know...), please accept my apologies, as it was never my intention to do that. When I posted a problem (or a supposed one, OK) and a possible explanation to this list is because I was looking for your help in understanding better, not for enjoying being a denigrator, a jerk or the like. I wrote repeatedly that I like the *istD very much (after all I bought it after having used it and having seen its limits for six months!), but I also found some problems. Can't you love someone/something even if he/she/it has some kind of defect? How can't you understand that? I simply didn't want to be blind! So I tried to understand the limits of the *istD image quality for one year and all the help I got here were at best banal suggestions of setting proper sharpness, or using RAW (which of course I already had tried again and again, and I wrote that ad nauseam), or at worst denials of my observations or irritated comments about me touching someone else's beliefs and (I think) prejudices. Since I don't have so much spare time (very little indeed), I think I can find better ways to use it, hence I'm going to unsubscribe for the time since 1997 (apart from very few and short breaks during vacations). Of course I'll miss many of you, and I want to especially thank (for different reasons) Cotty, Frank Theriault, John Francis, Keith Whaley, Michel Carrère-Gée, Paul Stenquist, Rob Studdert, Shel, Sylwek, Tan and many other I cannot cite just because someone else will always missing too. A big THANKS to all of you and a big APOLOGY to those which were disturbed by me. In any case, you all know how to contact me, and you can follow me in my website: www.dariobonazza.com. Bye and al the best, Dario Bonazza
