[GEN] rec.photo.digital.slr-sytems is the place for DSLR discussion
It's been a little over 2 months since the formation of rpd.slr-systems. In November, there were 560 posts December 1385 The group has reached critical mass for digital slr system discussions. At the risk (certainty!) of drawing the ire of some, I would urge discussions specific to DSLR's move over to news:rec.photo.digital.slr-systems . Some ISP's (including my own, damnit) still don't carry it, I have to access it via an account a friend set up for me elsewhere. But that works fine. Cheers, Alan. -- -- r.p.e.35mm user resource: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpe35mmur.htm -- r.p.d.slr-systems: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpdslrsysur.htm -- [SI] gallery & rulz: http://www.pbase.com/shootin -- e-meil: there's no such thing as a FreeLunch. |

At least he seems to shoot about daily which is a lot more than I can say for myself ... or most folks around here... -- -- r.p.e.35mm user resource: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpe35mmur.htm -- r.p.d.slr-systems: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpdslrsysur.htm -- [SI] gallery & rulz: http://www.pbase.com/shootin -- e-meil: there's no such thing as a FreeLunch. |

"Dave" wrote in message ups.com... How truely successful is the group if you have to urge people to move over there? Get this straight guys and gals... Alan Browne is the self appointed net COP of that group. He'll get up you so fast you'll think he's rocket propelled if you so much as think about... top posting mentioning anything other than precisely DSLR Or any of the other cardinal sins he sees as his duty to police. Of course he, himself is exempt from rules and if not, he'll change 'em to suit himself! Hello... Did anybody notice? Only about 18% of the world's ISPs actually carry the group on their servers and even fewer update it hourly. Rec.Photo. digital has served the digital photographic community well and continues to have the broadest, most comprehensive range of digital photographic topics of any group. Who really wants to get into a quasi "moderated" group where freedom to discuss whatever you want about digital photography is not just discouraged by this individual but openly policed? Are you listning Alan? It was a wonderful place the last week on dslr. Pity it's netcop has returned to do as he sees as his duty and make sure all you scumbags toe the line... Doug |

My message is meant to urge more people over now that the NG has a base amount of traffic and discussion that will make it worthwhile to them.
