Where did the good old days go? ;-) Down the drain to the recycler. I still check this and the large-format group. Digital has killed off most of the photo groups and the ISP's are trying to kill off Usenet. I find the web-based groups too scattered. A not quite ghost (yet)... -- -- Richard Knoppow Los Angeles WB6KBL I was wondering why you don't visit the web groups. I prefer the old plain text format myself because I'm on dialup, but there are ways to narrow the focus on some web forums. At the Large Format Photography Forum (which uses V Bulletin) you can create a search that only includes new posts from the subforums you select, and you can get similar results through a different approach at APUG. I find them hard to keep up with just due to sheer volume. I probably need to narrow my searches down to even fewer sub-fora. * * *I may try the web forums again. *I am also on a dial-up, high speed just was not available for a long time and I got used to it. *I also don't have cable TV and don't want it and many high speed services come bundled. * * *I still like film and chemical photography. I have a cheap digital camera which I used mostly for note taking when working on old electronic equipment. I suppose there are some old friends on APUG, etc and I am registered there (I think). -- -- Richard Knoppow Los Angeles WB6KBL Yes, I know you are registered at APUG because I've seen your empty profile. If you sign in and go to "My APUG", at the bottom of that page you can highlight (then save changes) all the forums you don't want to see posts from. Its a complicated and I think cluttered, messy interface with too many options and buttons. But its the place to be for analog lovers! I'm sure you will see some familiar faces, and many unfamiliar ones. I like the V-bulletin interface of the Large Format Photography Forum much better (though I liked it best when it was plain text at Greenspun.com). But I don't spend as much time there. Most of the talk there is about gear, "how big is your lens" type of stuff rather than photography but I still visit now and then. I don't have cable or satellite TV either, and don't want it. ;-) |
