[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 623754, member: 13090"] It's a particularly slow time of year for me at work right now and so I've been able to do a fair amount of cyber-slacking from behind my desk. Being as slow as it is I've been poking around some other photography forums just to see what's out there. Mainly I've been lurking, reading threads and just gauging these "other forums" in the overall. I'm not going to mention any by name but anyone whose looked for photography forums would certainly recognize most, if not all, the sites I've been to over the past few days. Having never really done this before I have a new and deeply abiding appreciation for Nikonites and the people who post here. In all honesty, words adequate to describe what I've seen on those other forums are simply beyond me. The outright rudeness, thinly veiled name-calling, disrespect to people new to the hobby, to hobbyist-photographers and/or new posters left me floored. Never, [I]EVER[/I], in all the time I've spent on Nikonites have I witnessed anything like it. And I say that knowing I've rubbed a few people the wrong way and having had my own feathers ruffled a few times. Even so, even at it's "worst" on this site, has it even approached the downright mean-spirited posting I've seen on some of these other forums. I can only conclude we have a very special forum here and my appreciation for it, and for everyone here, has been elevated in the extreme. It may sound corny, but I'm damn proud to say I'm a member here; and I want to thank everyone who supports Nikonites, from the top down and in whatever fashion. I want to thank everyone who posts here, for their help, their advice and for the sense of comradery it fosters. Cheers to one and all... Cheers indeed! [COLOR="#FFFFFF"].....[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
