Minolta and Panasonic
Kodak easy share is crap
Powershots have resolution issues.
Go the Panasonic with no doubt. The Minolta is pretty good too.

Ahh. The militant enforcer, eh?
And when was the last time you posted off topic to a group, Alan?
While I'm on it... Your Sig is outside polite limits too.
I'm sure you know the one about glass houses and stones.

Alan is right.

This is a dSLR News Group. Those were digital but not SLR cameras.

"YOU" should have pointed that out in your reply and if you wanted to, then answer the
question.

So David...
Does not the charter of this group seek to avoid/prevent/discourage top
posting?
Did you not break the charter yourself just now?
Perhaps I see the stupidity of having a set of guidelines (rules?) in the
form of a Charter which are only ever used or evoked by people when *they*
feel like it. Those same people - which you can now class yourself as one -
turn a blind eye to their own activities which are outside the charter
whenever it suits them. What does that make you, David?

Doug

[David H. Lipman]

I always post On Topic. Replies in a thread may go Off Topic.
I almost always Top Post. It is my preference and *I will continue* to do so.

The rest of my replies are inline...

No. It discourages >80 chars/line and more than 4 lines/sig.
When I stated they were stringent rules. A very wise a smart man replied...
"That part of the charter is more of a suggested practice as opposed to
'hard rules' that are set out higher up in the charter.

There is rarely an excuse for more than a few lines in a sig. The bit
about 80 chars is for those who have funky readers that don't wrap
intelligently."

er, no, the reason we created these divided NG's was to have the right topics in
the right place. The OP would be better served there, and we would be better
served not to reply here with what he wants to know in order to keep this NG on
topic.

> And when was the last time you posted off topic to a group, Alan?

Oh, from time to time, but I don't make a big habit of it.

> While I'm on it... Your Sig is outside polite limits too

Nothing wrong with my sig. I've kept it as compact as possible, and all of the
links are relevant to the NG's where I typically post.

> I'm sure you know the one about glass houses and stones.

People who live in grass houses should not stow thrones. Yes indeed, they are
heavy those thrones.

BTW: Don't top post, Ryadia. Pretty rude.

Cheers,
Alan

You say that like it's something to be proud of. Because you've done it for
15 years doesn't make it right, or even acceptable to the majority; it
merely proves you know how to dig your heels in against the prevailing
current. I'm just sayin'.

[David H. Lipman]

I don't see there is a current.
I see three sides to the coin and there is no right way and no wrong way.
I will say there is a better way in some circumstances.

No ruder than to use more than 3 lines in a sig Alan.

The rule is four lines.

Andrew.

[Tom Scales]

Rule? Guideline.

Big difference.

Oh Tom....
Some people are like little puppies. Need to be trained and have rules to be
accepted. It's not even a guideline. AFAICT it stems from the dark old days
of teletext when every character sent was an drain on a network. Someone
pointed out on Sourceforge or freshmeat (can't remember which) a set of
proposed standards for Usenet postings which adopted a lot of teletext
guidelines.

A lot of use of Usenet and the quasi standards adopted were from teletext.
Using a personal sig longer than 3 lines with a separator above, added
significant load to messages. If you really are interested in this totally
off topic subject, do a search on Yahoo or Goggle for personal sig RFC. That
should make your day!

Incidentally... Alan's sig is 5 lines in total (4 plus separator). Like I
said in my first post: Some people choose to use the "rules" when it suits
them and deny all knowledge of them when it doesn't. That is just human
nature. If Alan is to be the (unofficial) policeman of this group, then I
will point out his short comings (and there are more than just his sig) when
he gets up someone for doing something he doesn't like. Live and let live,
Alan. And hey... When did you get the DSLR? I thought you were a film kinda
guy.

If you're going to be anal about the rules, you really ought to get them
right. The separator line doesn't count towards the suggested four-line
limit. But you know this, of course - you just choose to ignore it :-)
