Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / October 2006RichA might be a swamping parameter
There is an engineering term called "swamping." It is commonly used when one parameter overwhelms others that could be pertinent in a given situation. The swamping parameter mostly dominates the outcome. Are we being swamped by RichA? > There is an engineering term called "swamping."

If we keep replying to all his posts and talking about him, we are.  SignatureJohn McWilliams >Are we being swamped by RichA? I'm not - I don't see him at all unless somebody is foolish enough to answer one of his tedious articles. If they do it often enough I soon stop seeing them too :-) The one major advantage usenet has over web forums is the ability to filter out the annoying background noise. Sadly RichA also posts his drivel to some forums I use - he appears on dpreview as "rander3127" for example.

That seems to get a response from the moderators. > There is an engineering term called "swamping."

"Overwhelms" what? Posts by you? You are a reactionary, you never post anything original, or even interesting. There IS nothing to drown out! >> There is an engineering term called "swamping."

Plonk him if you can't stand him. >> Are we being swamped by RichA? > > Plonk him if you can't stand him. Presumptuous, on your part. >>>Are we being swamped by RichA? >> >>Plonk him if you can't stand him. > > Presumptuous, on your part. Why? You're complaining about him. Nobody is going to change his behaviour. So either tolerate him, ignore him or plonk him. You talk about "swamping" but by replying to him you're adding to the over-saturation. >>>> Are we being swamped by RichA? >>> [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Why? You're complaining about him.

Signaturejohn mcwilliams >>>>> Are we being swamped by RichA? >>>> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >Does this mean, Alan, that with regard to a certain Brit, you plan to do >the same? That's not nice; even TP should be allowed to keep a pet. SignatureJohn Bean > That's not nice; even TP should be allowed to keep a pet. Even TP should be able to post a single photo with a modicum of quality. Any single quality. > Does this mean, Alan, that with regard to a certain Brit, you plan to do > the same? No, I intend to remind him of his rude behviour and outrageous claims every time he says something rude or fails to back up his photographic claims. You of course, as previously mentioned, may plonk me if you consider my behaviour unacceptable. I'm sure the Brit in question has. Cheers, Alan >> Does this mean, Alan, that with regard to a certain Brit, you plan to >> do the same? [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > claims. You of course, as previously mentioned, may plonk me if you > consider my behaviour unacceptable. I'm sure the Brit in question has. From my post, the part you omitted: >> Presumptuous, on your part. > > Why? You're complaining about him. Nobody is going to change his > behaviour. So either tolerate him, ignore him or plonk him. [Does this mean, Alan, that with regard to a certain Brit, you plan to do the same?] Your refusal to mandate for yourself what you do for others is arrogant. Signaturejohn mcwilliams > Your refusal to mandate for yourself what you do for others is arrogant. eh? You're the one with a problem with me. So plonk me. All I said to the OP was "Plonk him if you can't stand him." Whether he heeds that advice is his business. What I do is mine.

What I do is mine. I'll plonk whom I please when I please, thank you very much. I may continue to chide you for boorish behavior, or correct you when you're wrong, or not, as I choose. You're mostly interesting to read, are clear as a bell, and seldom make mistekes. Have a nice evening! jpmcw > I may continue to chide you for boorish behavior, or correct you when > you're wrong, or not, as I choose. > > You're mostly interesting to read, are clear as a bell, and seldom make > mistekes. Thanks for that vote of confidence. Regrettably I'll continue to be wrong occasionally or a PITA on the other issue. I won't even correct your spelling misteke above...

Let's face it. The guy is entertaining. Especially when Helen incinerates him as only she can do. Also, he's good at what he does--stirring people up. Granted, I haven't learned anything about photography from him as I have from many of you but, still, his posts and the responses to them never fail to elicit a laugh or two. SignatureGator Bait |
