I've never heard such a load of crap--you'd make a good politician.


Another thing is that when you go to Steve's website, there really
isn't that much information there! Richard Knoppow posts more into in
one week than is on Steve's whole site.

Don't have the URLs offhand, but Tuan's LF site and Kerry Thalmann's
site are chock full of information. Steve's, well, isn't.

[...] I try to point
out to Steve why he infuriates LOTS of people here yet he continues to
blame others for the problems he creates.


After all the information he's received in this matter, and knowing he is
not stupid then all I can conclude is that Simmons is an amoral sociopath.

Well, no, but then Steve has a book and a magazine through which he sells
his information. Can't blame the guy for being miserly then, but I feel
he's mistaken, and that a meaningful sharing of the information, followed by
links to his site, etc. in his sig file, would generate more sales for him,
not fewer.

Certainly, that's enough said on the subject. I have filtered him as I find
he's not saying anything useful (to me). This is pointedly opposed to
Steve's primary adversary, JJS, who does offer useful info on the group,
practically on a daily basis.

I am curious

Did you not find trhe articles on the view camera web site useful a few weeks
ago when you were asking about camera info and which one to buy?

Do you find stafford's comments such as spammin slut helpful and userful?

As I have stated many times these articles on the view camera site are designed
to help people get started. If you already know this info fine but not everyone
does. I find some of the answers here very basic as well but I do not blast the
poster becausue I assume others find them helpful which is the purpose of a
group such as this.
