You were the group creator, yes? Perhaps you should have named the

rec.photo.digital.zlr-with-is or
rec.photo.digital.fz20-is-the-only-good-zlr

Seriously if you want to attract new participants you shouldn't be
putting down their cameras.

You are the person proposing the c8080 as the best ZLR, without pointing
out its limitations. There is a wide choice of ZLR cameras, and if
someone has a particular need such as 24mm wide angle, zoom past 140mm,
less than 8MP, or image stabilisation then not all ZLR models will meet
their requirements. Of course, there will also be people who have a
flexible requirement and may buy on price alone.

Fair enough! What can I say? I love my camera as much as you love
yours.

Yes, I was one of the charter proposers, although it was group discussion
which refined the charter and the group vote which created the newsgroup.

I voted for the group, actually for ALL the new rpd groups. So I
suppose that makes me one of the creators too? Hehe. I feel a warm
sense of pride.
