I thought that having name so similar to my great compatriot  and pianist
(Artur Rubinstein) would obligate you to be more cultured. But it seems I
was just wrong, so wrong!

Rubenstein has long been a thorn in the side to those folks here,
me included, who happily shoot Pentax.  I don't kill-file him because
he's an outside force.  Mebbe an outside farce.  Can't make up my
mind.  But, the prevailing winds here obviously rub him the wrong way.
I think he's prolly higher tech than the average poster here, more so than
Brad_I_Wanna_Be_A_Pro, but apparently wants to do shots some of us never
consider.  I like having Bruce here.  But I REALLY like Robb, Scott, Cotty,
AnnaSan, Roberts, Johnston, Cassleberry, Tex, GreyWolf, etc.

Cassleberry might be my all-time favorite.  Now here's a guy that makes
do, has an up-beat tone, and every once in a while shows a photo that drives
me to my knees because it is so good.

Next time I'll prop up some of my other favorites.  This is a very good
group.  Let's keep it together.

Um, folks, It's one thing to dump on ideas, quite another to dump on people
personally. Since I'm no angel in this matter, may I suggest that you
fulfill your need to denigrate others by focusing your vile toward me.

I was about to say something similar (re: Language).. but I usually reserve
judgement when jumping into the midst of a thread however in this case - I
think perhaps Bruce maybe had a little too much caffeine today.

I have no idea where Bruce's remark came from - pretty much out of the blue.  He
wasn't involved in the thread, no one addressed anything to him, and we weren't
even talking about Pentax in particular - it turned into a silly what's a pro
and what's a pro camera thread.

Yeah, musta been too much caffeine...  g
