Original charter of rec.photo.equipment.35mm and notes on the charter

Original Charter

-----begin-----
This group is for the discussion of all aspects of 35mm camera
equipment.  This includes 35mm SLR camera bodies and lenses, 35mm
point-and-shoot cameras, 35mm rangefinder cameras, 35mm scale focus
cameras and 35mm half-frame cameras.

All postings made to this group should conform to existing Usenet
guidelines (see news.announce.newusers for guideline documents).  This
group explicitly prohibits the posting of commercial advertisements or
other promotional material, whether or not it is in any way related to
photography.  Binary postings (i.e.  non text postings) are
prohibited.
-----end-----

Notes on the Charter
--------------------
     The creators of this group wisely did not include any reference to
the type of sensor, even though both film and digital sensors were in
existence at the time of the groups creation. Clearly they knew that
eventually there would be digital sensors that were the same size as
35mm film, and they did not want to exclude discussion of these products.

     At this time there are not separate Usenet groups for 35mm film
based SLRs and 35mm digital based SLRs; rec.photo.equipment.35mm is a
proper venue for all posts regarding all types of 35mm cameras,
including SLR 35mm film, SLR 35mm digital, and point and shoot 35mm film
(there are no 35mm point and shoot digital cameras at this time).

35mm digital cameras include the following:

  Canon 5D (no longer in production)
  Canon 7D
  Canon EOS-1Ds (no longer in production)
  Canon 1Ds Mark II (no longer in production)
  Canon 1Ds Mark III
  Contax N Digital (no longer in production)
  Kodak Pro DCS-14/n (no longer in production)
  Kodak Pro DCS-14/c (no longer in production)
  Nikon D3
  Nikon D700

There is a Usenet group that is solely for digital SLR cameras of all
types regardless of the sensor size, this group is
rec.photo.digital.slr-systems.

Posts regarding true 35mm digital SLRs may be be posted to both
rec.photo.digital.slr-systems and rec.photo.equipment.35mm. Many
professional and amateur photographers use both film and digital SLR
bodies, and use the same set of lenses, flashes, and other accessories
on the bodies.

Oops!  I owe a big apology to this group.  I have visited here from time to
time over the years, but did not know of the policy not to post "commercial
advertisements or other promotional material, whether or not it is in any
way related to photography."  So when I recently posted a link to my NEW
SITE, http://home.earthlink.net/~wildlifepaparazzi/ , which shows some very
nice (IMHO) nature photos with information about the subjects (species,
shooting data, ect.), I was out of line.  I do have a page there that
discusses the possibility of making sales, so, even though most folks would
see it as educational, it should be considered promotional material.  Mea
culpa.  I'll never, ever, ever, do that again.

Of course this probably does not apply to my other sites:

http://home.earthlink.net/~roosevelt_elk/
http://home.earthlink.net/~alan_justice/
http://home.earthlink.net/~north_coast/
http://home.earthlink.net/~nature_photography/
http://home.earthlink.net/~nationalparks/

They do not discuss sales, (although they do link to the first site, which
does).

Again, I apologize for this inexcusable transgression.

<snip>

The reason for my earlier post was simply to make the point that
rec.photo.equipment.35mm is in no way restricted by the charter to the
discussion of only film-based 35mm equipment. The word "film" is never
mentioned in the charter. 35mm digital equipment is certainly a
legitimate topic for discussion in this group.

Alan...
ignore those who think you're trying to sell sand to the Arabs or ice to
the Eskimos. Anyone with half a brain (high IQ for this group I admit)
would know your site is a learning process for you and although I have
the ability to help you, I've refrained because discussion like that are
off-topic for this group.

IF promoting the "Shootin" is on-topic, so is promoting *ANY* site
hosting photos likely to be of interest to photographers.

I whole heartedly vote you continue your learning and actually get a
sales site going. You are about as likely to sell photos to the motley
crew in this group as you are to get a ticket on the next space shuttle
but your photos and how you took them are definitely of interest to many
subscribers here.

To not post them because of some wacky jerk playing Net Kop posts an
objection is a travesty of justice. The big bloke of everything
newsgroups on the board of the "big 8" who administer this group, lays
it out here:
http://www.big-8.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=faqs:index#newsgroup_charters

That's right... Groups change as the participants alter subject matter
to keep the group alive... Net Kops are a pain in the a.s. Ignore 'em.
The charter is a guide for establishment of a group. Once established,
it becomes a historical document - not an absolute set of rules, as I
once thought them to be.

Newsgroup rules are made on the fly. Usenet is pure Anarchy. The most
forceful and resourceful win... ALWAYS! Survival of the fittest stuff.
Natural attrition in it's purest form. Don't let any single person tell
you what to do. When half a dozen tell you the same thing, it's time to
change.

I wouldn't think of trying to sell photos to anyone in this group (well,
maybe if you insist).  It was strictly for you who like to see nature photos
and learn about how they were shot.  The information with the photos is not
just lens and f-stop, but some comments on how to set up or anticipate the
shot.  (My "apology" was made with tongue planted firmly in cheek).  Plus I
was hoping for constructive criticism, which I got (and, amazingly none was
rude!).  I would welcome any comments which you fear may be inappropriat for
this group (although I feel that information on how to display photos taken
with 35-mm equipment is relevant) off-line at :  the part after the "~" in
the address for any of the sites, plus "@earthlink.net".

Taking discussions off-line signifies that I actually want to do that
and I don't.

At some point in your development you will need to embrace the notion
that only you ought to have control over your web site and it's shopping
cart. That's when you get to decide if $25 a month or even $10 a month
is worth the investment to host your own site.

As for getting your site up in the Google rankings? $650 for 3 months is
the going rate. I do my own SEO work and have three sites at the top of
the ranking tree - for keywords I've identified people use.

Until I achieved that ranking, I got no business at all from the
Internet. Today I rely on it!

How you decide to go from here is what will determine if you too,
collect a bunch of insecure idiots as trolls who hang on your every word
as you get more and more successful at what they can't do, will be a
significant decision for you.

One thing is absolutely certain... You will learn ZERO about setting up
and running a successful web site selling photos in a group like this.
The make up of this group's users might surprise you. 80% are retires.
10% are unemployed time wasters and 10% are serious photographers with
no where else to go.

lazy to work and too scared to steal.

I have a job .... just not one that I like.

As for caddying, I personally know about 5 guys from my town who caddy
on the PGA Tour, and they're all about my age.
It might come as a shock to you, but the reason I and most other
people don't steal has nothing to do with fear.  It has to do with
honesty, which I know is a foreign concept to you.

Oh, BTW, here's some free advice from your old pal...in the future
when you are trying to tell someone they are "too stupid" to do
something, try to at least spell it correctly.

Both!

Also, subject don't agree with verb, and to awkwardly split an

This post is off-topic for this newsgroup, rec.photo.equipment.35mm,
which is concerned with film cameras that use 35mm film, not digital
cameras that look like 35mm SLRs.

Please use an appropriate newsgroup for postings on digital cameras. One
of the following groups would be a good place for such postings:

  rec.photo.digital
  rec.photo.digital.point+shoot
  rec.photo.digital.rangefinder
  rec.photo.digital.slr
  rec.photo.digital.slr-system

How did you do those up arrows, did you rub your computer the right way?

Hahaha   The chemist must be on strike up that way and doggy's drugs

I haven't had alcohol since XMAS 2007 but Doggy has never let the truth

Got to love how Doggy is the one always changing his name but accuses
everyone else of it (didn't he have 11 names last week)

Hahahaha  non keyboard character,   I would rate that as one of the
funniest posts Doggy has ever posted.  So in the last week I can't have
the 28-135 lens as Canon never shipped it in a kit
(http://www.pbase.com/temuchin/image/101816963) and now I have non

Wonder if Doggy celebrates when he actually gets something right.

Yes, I thought the same thing when I saw that. Half frame was mostly 18
x 24 mm, pretty close to the cropped sensors in the non-professional
Nikon, Canon, Pentax, and Sony digital SLRs.

Actually, not true. First of all, you're basically trying to read the
minds of those who wrote the charter retrospectively, which is a pretty
inexact science.

But more to the point, when this group was created, there were digital
SLRs that were in the same form factor as 35mm film cameras (used the
same lenses, had a sensor approximately the size of a 35mm film frame,
etc.), but as you well know, they were enormously expensive and not very
widely used. Nobody really knew which way digital photography would go
at that point. So it's quite a stretch to just breezily assume that
"they" (the charter writers) were specifically including digital cameras
under that heading. If that were the case, don't you think they would
have spelled it out? I would think so.

The other counter-argument, which is the one D-Mac has made, is that
the charter really means nothing and is not enforceable.  Don't take
my word for it, take it from the guys who created this whole thing
that D-Mac mentioned.

So why waste your time and ours posting 1000 times that a certain post
violates the charter?  It serves no purpose other than clogging up the
group with a bunch of off-topic crap that nobody cares about.  And
isn't that what the charter tries to prevent?

First off, you are wrong about this being a film group since the
charter you refer to doesn't mention film.
Secondly, even if the posts WERE against the charter, so what?
Go the f.ck away until you have something to contribute.

Yes.  So why are you posting?

It does mention 35mm.  Since when is a 40D a 35mm sensor
camera?

Half frame is also mentioned, and APS-C is very close.

Just add "nobody@but.us.chickens" to your kill-file and be done with yet
another cross-posting troll that clutters up Usenet with his personal
agenda.

No, but it does use 35mm lenses.

Er ... To whom are you addressing that diatribe, Bret? The only article you
quoted was mine, and I was under the impression that I saw the issue pretty
much as you do.

If you have nothing to say, say it often. Alas, people like this never
go away. They crave the attention they get from people requesting that
they behave.

This is true. It would have been very easy to either include the word
"film" or specifically exclude digital. They didn't do either.

There does not seem to be any "film" postings in
rec.photo.equipment.35. Pretty much there are digital posts and a few
shoot in posts. I guess 35mm film really is dead.
