There are lots of threads in the gallery section in which people shoot and then post like you say, but they don't go completely nuts filling the web with it like the digital folks do, 4x5 is $1-3 per shot and it has to be scanned. Generally speaking, people on this forum post images in sections that have to do with what the photograph is about, not what it was taken with with a few exceptions like the use of infrared films, etc.
Why? Isn't it more important to take note of the light, the tones, the composition and the talent behind the shot? I think it is pretty safe to say when a wide, normal or a bit of a telephoto lens was used, well the differences are obvious then, right? Do you see what I am getting at here.....?....I am trying to say that you should get off of the forums and get out the door and go make images. One very, very sad thing about the internet is that it makes people dream more than they ever have and live less than they ever have, their whole world becomes the internet....digital this, gadget that, a virtual life with no real tactile substance.
You can do what ever you want, start what ever thread you want, but at the end of the day......you have one life sir, live it for real...not always on the internet pouring over photos that people post because they want to hear that feel good commentary.
