[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.

Will 'Annika' Douglas be flooding it with film based shots?

made you unsuitable for a lot of jobs and then you had the urge to
pass it on.

I suspect he'll be flooding it with DSLR shots, usually with a humorous, witty
or sarcastic title. At least he seems to shoot about daily which is a lot more
than I can say for myself ... or most folks around here...

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...

Successful enough that it has more than doubled over Dec. traffic.

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.

Cheers,
Alan.

Rec.photo.digital has become a victim of it's own success. It's too
easy to get lost in there and lose track.

As long as Major League Baseball expects public funding for their
facilities, and as long as they enjoy an added level of freedom of
operation from an anti-trust exemption, then there is a public trust
and public interest involved. IOW, they owe me.
