Anyone miss the flame wars?

[Capocheny]

I'll second Neil's comment!

Who needs the flame wars?

I'm here to share and learn about LF photography!

Cheers

Not at all.

And that TMAX400 thread is a great example of people who can disagree without things turning into a heated exchange. Not only that, its pretty interesting too.

right, the fun is gone...

Oren,

I am surprised to see you say such a thing! Are you about to say something nasty on that thread?

Oren,

Oooops. I see that you did say something about pyro. Now there is a word we can hang our hat on to start a flame war.

[Oren Grad]

Nope. Sorry, that was probably a bit gratuitous, especially because everyone engaged on that one so far has stuck with the wise "criticize the argument, not the arguer" rule.

The TMY vs HP5 Plus thing has an unfortunate extra edge these days because of the underlying fear that there may not be enough room for both in the tiny niche market for odd-size films. But it looks like we've dodged that bullet at least for now, which is fabulous. Let many different films continue to thrive!

Why not simply listen to some of the Monty Python - " I came here for an argument..."

[Oren Grad]

Not to worry, although I'm not a pyromaniac, nor do I stomp around brandishing a pyro-extinguisher. :-)

That would be a good one to add to Brian's list, though.

I've never made it past about the third post in a flame war. I just click on over to somewhere else. Or something else.

Hmmm Frenchy tripods anyone... ;-)
