You surprise me, but then again I'm perhaps not surprised. From what
I've heard about commercial printing - it's no surprise your intent is
ruined.

Definately not the point. As for context, again this shows us why this
place is no community  - it has very poor sense of context.

Are you seriously telling me you've never heard this expression. Well,
perhaps English is not your native language. Oh well.

Yes, that's the doughnut!

Oh well, perhaps it is difficult to impact my meaning if your idioms
are not up to scratch.

No. It's both of us. Be more precise. Digging at someone without
realising that you can also see yourself in the mirror is not going to
get your points accepted.

Don't blame me or yourself. It's obvious I should not have used

The trouble with that is that I am unfamilar with your personal
education and culture. Another nail in the coffin of thinking this
place is a community. We all have quite different life outlooks due to
our national differences.

Dear me, you really want this place that bland. Bang goes any in-depth
conversation then. Goodbye philosophy on off-topic. Good-bye technical
banter on the technical groups.

I'm not sure it is. Apparently asking people to leave is, but asking
people to ignore oneself I really don't see as a breach. No one else
has mentioned this. Any help on this, admin, or those who breath the
AUP?

Pardon? I think you really should have quoted me on that. Such a

That's just plain weird. You really think this place has that level of
significance? After that time period, I doubt I'll even remember
dealing with the folks on this group.

LOL

I think you will find plenty of people who do scan their photos.

Thought as much. As I said, it's sometimes not obvious from a posting
what is going on in the mind of the poster.

?

What does that have to do with anything?

BTW, when reading these NG's, do you hide all read messages?  It seems you
lose track of the context very quickly.  I find it useful not to hide
previous posts, as I often refer back to them to get the full context.

Saying something would never be scanned is erroneous because people
scan their photos all the time.

No I see them. You are just losing track.

As has been pointed out elsewhere - this IS about chemical photography
and people DO scan their photos.

Well I feel sorry for you if you think differently, but the English
dictionary *defines* English words.  How could you possibly argue with the
dictionary?  Do you have your own version of English?

So, "this place" is not just "a drop in the ocean" then?

Well, I think if people can't see it using their normal methods for viewing
images then that counts as them not being able to see it.  It's pointless
trying to expect them to do anything different - most people won't.

So, what % of people do you think are going to downgrade your image to 8-bit
before viewing it?  Ummm, I think that would be >99% :-)

yeah, they've learnt that it isn't worth using at the moment!
