Photo Forum / Film Photography / Medium format / May 2008Is there a moderator? Why don'; you stop the spam?
Most of the messages in this group are spam - why is the moderator allowing this? I invite the users to boycott the site until the spam is gone..! (Now I know I'm the next boycotted member.....) > Most of the messages in this group are spam - why is the moderator > allowing this?

Most of the spam comes from google/gmail so - by using it - you are part of the problem.

The Moderator looked at His Creation and He saw on-topic posts, and they were good. The Moderator said "Usenet is good. We are bored." So The Moderator invented Flame Wars, and they were good. The Moderator invented Trolls, Man and Women He created them, and they were good. The Moderator said "We have created Usenet and Flame Wars and Trolls, and they are good. We are still bored." The Twin Angels Hormel and AOL appeared before The Moderator. The Angel Hormel said to The Moderator "Let us create Spam, it will be good." The Angel AOL said to The Moderator "Let us create Lusers, they will be good." The Moderator pondered and then said "Angles, go forth and create Spam and crete Lusers to enjoy the Spam." And the Angels did so and it was good. The Satan, the Opponent, the Adversary said "The Moderator has created all that is good in Usenet. We are angry." So The Satan, the Opponent, the Adversary created Google. And it was bad, very very bad. The Moderator called out to The Satan, the Opponent, the Adversary, and said "What have you done?" The Satan, the Opponent, the Adversary said "Oh Moderator, after every Creation You have been bored. We have created the Million-Headed, Million-Armed Google to Disrupt Your Usenet and thus keep You entertained. We know that everything You have created is Good. Good is Boring. Usenet is now a battleground in constant state of War. Google will convince the Lusers that Usenet is now Google-Net. Google will convince Lusers that Usenet is a Web site. And it is Bad, very very Bad." And The Moderator looked at Google, and it was Bad. The Moderator said "Usenet is now complete. We are happy." > In article > <a54d84fa-6092-461c-a8f2-78c083f0fb5d@m44g2000hsc.googlegroups.com>, [quoted text clipped - 42 lines] > And The Moderator looked at Google, and it was Bad. > The Moderator said "Usenet is now complete.

"In Internet slang, a luser (sometimes expanded to local user; also luzer or luzzer) is a painfully annoying, stupid, or irritating computer user.[1] It is a portmanteau of "loser" and "user" and is usually pronounced as "loser".[2] The word luser is often synonymous with lamer. In hackish, the word luser takes on a broader meaning, referring to any normal user (in other words not a guru), especially one who is also a loser. This term can also signify the user as a layman, as opposed to power user or administrator; for example, end luser. This term is very popular with technical support staff who have to deal with lusers as part of their job, often metaphorically employing a LART (Luser Attitude Readjustment Tool, or "clue-by-four")." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luser cf: BOfH, "Any key", Newbie, RTFM > In article > <internetphobic-B1B5C4.18261222042008@newsgroups.comcast.net>, [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > cf: BOfH, "Any key", Newbie, RTFM I learned something :) I deal with Luser's all the time.

Talk to your sysadmin and maybe they can do something about the spam from that angle. > Most of the messages in this group are spam - why is the moderator > allowing this?

This NG is so quiet now that the spam hardly affects it. The trick is to increase the signal/noise ratio by participation, but too many MFers have gone DSLR (35mm).

The irony is that most DSLRs are not 35mm as far as sensor size is concerned. The technology is there to make 35mm sized sensors (24mm x 36mm), but the manufacturers keep cranking out those less than 35mm sized sensors...whence the 1.6 factor lenses. One quick consequence is the rarity of DSLR lenses shorter than 20mm as per 35mm photography. At 1.6 factor, a lens needs to be around 12mm in actuality to be equivalent to 20mm as per 35mm photography. Not too many DSLR lenses around with that focal length. Another consequence is that because depth of field at any given f/stop of a lens is dependent on actual focal length rather than on sensor/film size, a DSLR lens equivalent to a 100mm focal length (35mm photography) is 62.5mm and has the depth of field of a 62.5mm lens. So it is not feasible to have a DSLR with a lens with focal length equivalent to a 35mm 100mm lens and a depth of field of that same 35mm 100mm lens. All these anomalies will go away once the DSLRs commonly have 35mm sized sensors. But as long as the marketplace is receptive to this 1.6 factor, don't hold your breath. > The trick is to increase the signal/noise ratio by participation, but > too many MFers have gone DSLR (35mm). I've not but can't think of anything intellegent to say... except I ought to do more of it. And print more stuff...

After dedicating way too much time the last few months to my event back on 4/19 I finally dedicated a few days to photography. I have several rolls of Tri-X 400 and Pan F Plus to develop and two rolls of 220 Porta 160VC to take to the lab since I don't know how to develop color. I love my Mamiya 645 Pro. The viewfinder on my Rebel XT cracks me up it's so tiny after using my Mamiya. Next years event: http://groups.google.com/group/r2rrrr-poker-ride Cheers, Greg |
