Didn't you once claim that you had a way of doing it?

They read him mind-numbing gibberish from Rich's Usenet articles.

Well, you know a lot more about the specifics than I do... you've obviously
spent time inside. I only know what I'm told by my friends in the business.

I bet you don't even realize you are arguing about yourself!

Since you ignored the question, you fall into group 'A'... you don't know you're
sick. But I kinda thought that...

Not anymore, but I do regret buying a few of the lenses I did... they become
redundant sometimes.

I'm not insecure at all, but no one has done the things you speak of...

No, I "dumped" about $5000 on DSLR's and glass, and I LOVE the great photo's I'm
getting.

What I do regret is having bought a couple of 'P&S' cameras for $2500 over the
last few years, and getting the worst shit pictures I've ever seen! I regret
only getting $150 for a Minolta Dimage I paid $1500 for. I regret having shit
photos of my late Sister and Father taken on P&S crap cameras. I wish I had
better images of the past. I wish I had got a DSLR in 2000 instead of the P&S
shit.

I agree, I wasted a fortune on P&S CRAP before I got a DSLR.

Yes. And we live in a world where 95% of everything isn't what its, "claimed
to be".
