Rec.photo** hijack
Be aware that there is an effort by Alan Browne and several others of
this newsgroup to create four new rec.photo** newsgroups. Creation of these groups will kill this group. Worst of all, the charter of this NG will not be affected if any of these new groups are passed, which means that this group will abandoned by the talented folks. Alan Browne is on record for wanting a charter change for this newsgroup. Russ Allmighty of news.groups declared that charter amendments are not possible, so this is Alan and his gang's way of creating a safety zone for the elite. Please do not fall for this line of subterfuge. It is a crock. Guy Macon |

Some paranoia coming from Google? The only news group creation I have
seen is for digital imaging. Those of us who still use 35 mm gear will continue to post here. Perhaps it might become as sparse as the medium format or large format groups, but I see nothing wrong with that. You will not be seeing my posts on any digital equipment groups. Just a curiosity, though you must be a lurker. . . . . . . . Perhaps you could reply about which posts, or posters, you have found useful, that you believe might disappear. Why not ask those people directly through this group? I post because I welcome the chance to help others, when possible. I also read many posts, because none of us can know too much. Ciao!

I'm sure all the other, less talented shooters will promise to stay, as well. ;-) Sheesh... |

Seems like there are far fewer than there once were. Are you sick of DSLR stuff posted here? Personally I'm not, but I can understand how others would be sick of the Shoot-In and/or DSLRs. Talk about overkill! In RFD #4 the four new groups would be rec.photo.digital.slr-systems rec.photo.digital.zlr rec.photo.digital.point+shoot rec.photo.digital.rangefinder |

Written probably by someone who wants to keep putting flies in the ointment and, among many agendas, change the charters of this group and rec.photo.digital. There's a very long history- all within the last few weeks!- of why the names, why the multiple groups, etc. are being proposed in the FRD's being posted in news.groups and in r.p.d. It now is clearer than ever, that changes to an existing charter cannot be done, so perhaps over time those who keep trying to force that will find other opportunites to promote change. -- John McWilliams |
