No joke, what individual asks for "donations". A non profit orginazation, yes, an individual, no. We have a local fauxtographer here in Albuquerque that does this too, just annoys me to death.

I have recently graduated from a correspondence course where I majored in Ken Rockwell translation. This very special course is only available to Fan Club of Ken Rockwell (FCKR) members, a national organization of KR fans, of which I am a founding member.
As a courtesy to my fellow Nikonites, I will now translate a recent entry on KR's blog, his totally unbiased review of the Nikon SB-700 speedlight:

I had a call from a writer who was reviewing the [click here to send me money], and here is [or you can click here to send me some].

Want better pictures? Want to stand out from the noise? Then use a better camera!

Sure, a [buy stuff here, I do] or [click here for one of my awesome reviews] is great for hobbyists, but for pros making a difference while working under deadlines or hails of bullets, go [last chance to buy an iPhone and send me money].

For what it's worth, as I mentioned earlier, the anti-Rockwell post on my website is now #3 on a Google search for Ken Rockwell. The link is in my signature.
This article has been generating over 100 daily visits to my website.
Over the last two days, I edited the article to include much more information. If anyone has other observations that should be added to it, please let me know and I'll gladly include it.

hrm, are you sure about that? When I search for "Ken Rockwell" your post isn't to be found. In fact, this thread is #3 for me. But, if I use a different browser with cookies cleared & not logged into google, this thread is not #3 anymore. Now if I do "Beware Ken Rockwell" your site comes up #1.
This was in the news today...Ogopogo, Canada’s Loch Ness Monster, Caught on Tape [Video]
Ken Rockwell blogged tonight that he had a similiar clip taken on super 8mm film made when he was 14. He said he has kept it secret all these years because he knew he would have a family someday and didn't want to be known as a crackpot...

Yeah, I looked, made me sick too. Like Pete says: "Can't fix stupid"
Best advice found on the web is right here. You get more than one opinion, not an opinion of one.

Happy Thanksgiving Day to Ken Rockwell.
The ONLY person in the world whose turkeys prepare themselves for his pleasure.
I am SOOOOOO jealous!

Not only that, they donate themselves to him, to help support his growing family....
You didn't have to know, he knew that for you!
