Buddy. Friend. Amigo. Why such foul language?!

ROTFL. You, my friend, have just been promoted to Poster Child of the Think 
before you Type PDML campaign. LOL. I don't even know what to say. Oh wait... 
what was that you said...

 you are too stupid to live.

Hmmm. I think that'll do. You summed it up perfectly. Thanks.

I'm sorry... that was hilarious. I think it would be really hard for anyone to 
make themselves look as stupid as you just did... but we still love you. And 
just when I thought the fun was over... Collin Brendi-something-or-another 
chimes in with:

 Argumentative and irrational.
 Besides, pictures are composed of gray matter.
 Horrible pictures == lack of gray matter.
 
Man, you guys are slow! ... did you, like, skip the line where I said that the 
camera didn't follow the rule of thirds when composing?! I tried so hard to 
make my sarcasm obvious with that line. I'm not sure who is stupider. The 
person who believes a camera is responsible for such a thing... or the person 
who believes that there is such a person. Well, either way, it was good for a 
laugh nonetheless. Anyhow, apologies for making you guys work so hard to 
decipher my email. No hard feelings I hope. I sincerely promise that I did not 
intend to make you look so foolish (you did it a by yourself). I've got an 
ist-D, guys. Sheesh. Just jokes, man.

Just jokes.

ANyhow, back to your scheduled broadcasting.

I found it funny. And I started wishing for a camera that knew the rule of 
thirds (although I am not sure I believe in that anyway. Hmm, maybe if I could 
argue with it -- okay camera, but not in THIS situation!).

However, I don't find this follow up post very funny.

Whatever.

Marnie Lashed Out:  (... or wait... was it Doe? I can't keep up)

 However, I don't find this follow up post very funny.

With that said, hopefully we can nip it in the bud. (but come on Marnie... 
could I really have let that one slide? they wuz askin for it It absolutely 
made my morning. I laughed so hard, I cried :o)

But seriously, I think they are grown up enough to know that I meant nothing 
personal. I'm way too jovial for that. Hopefully, at least that has been 
established, if nothing else. 

A simple misunderstanding. A few cheap laughs. No harm. No foul. Let's move on.
Thanks, guys.

Hey frank... Remember that conversation we had? I finally understand why you 
pepper your emails with a 1/2 million very big grins whenever you post. Wow. 
Quite necessary, huh?

Quoting Bill Owens [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

 Is this your new email address?

No. Just the one I use for PDML when I subscribe every now and then. Helps 
keep things organized.

 How do you like your Igital*Dist?

I love it. But you guys knew that already from way back in August when we were 
in NC playing with the pre-production model. I haven't said anything about it 
cuz I haven't really used it much it (up to image 250 or so). And besides, you 
guys have already talked about it a ton and I don't have anything new to add. 
I've been browsing the post every now and then, however. Everyone seems happy. 
Which is cool. 

In general however, I'll say that this is my first digi-anything. And ditigal 
is awesome. Little Kid. Candy Store. You know the rest.

I've kept the MZ-S for film purposes... but it's looking grim already. Once I 
finish all to film I have in the house (may take a while)... I'm not really 
feeling inclined to order more. But we'll see how it goes. Things change. 
Newness wears off. Etc.

Catcha later, Bill.

Hi!

Jerome, actually the rules of thirds part made me chuckle somewhat.
Then I saw the auctions and the e-mail address you give in the
descriptions. Then I realized you forgot to put some smileys or
letters in angle brackets, or else.

And then William let his tongue slip, well, way slip, well, may I say
fall out...

Anyway, shake hands and behave, will you?

I was wondering when someone will reply to that
original post politely.  I knew there was something
about that post when I got to the part about the rule
of thirds thing but didn't want to start anything by
saying something hence I just waited.

Good one!

Not to worry, Jerome is no where near the nerd type PhD.  Unusual amount of
common sense and lots of fun to be around.  And Jerome, don't let this go to
your shiny head :-)

I kept the Spottie, MZ-S, the wife's ZX-L and a couple of cheapo Russian
cameras, oh, and the Yashica Lynx 14 rangefinder.  The MZ-S is beginning to
fell like an orphan since I got the Igital*Dist, which, BTW, should return
home tomorrow.
