I'm getting sick of the almost daily spam from Jessops

I can't stop it because they only seem to have the email.

I had an account a few years ago, but can't access it because
all accounts now start with an email for the name.

I see Matty the troll has stepped round his ban from this forum, by re-registering as Marat and as usual is stiring things up. Is it a Fuji that you use now Matty?

No. 1 Rule of the Internet.... Don't feed the trolls!

CAPS and punctuation are essential in any language to make it easy
to read. I don't really care about spelling, but I struggle reading
anything that doesn't bear much resemblance to formatting. If I
receive any long emails or instructions/manuals the first thing
I do is format them to about 70 chars wide and put double lines
between the paragaraphs. Lines of numbers I have to format in
3's to read them properly i.e. 374,672,684,536,880

You will notice that all my posts have lines no longer than
60 chars long this makes it easier for people to read. In the
days when the newsgroups were popular there used to be an
uproar if anyone posted longer lines.

Why do you think books and newspapers always use a Serif font?

High contrast type is also unpopular and harder to read.
Obviously you cant control that on here and it's low
contrast anyway.

Maybe I and others should get stronger glasses and bigger screens
to accommodate the ignorant people who don't want to follow
the improvements and steps that have been made over the years
in making the written word easier to read.

just like a lot of posts in the classified section
grump alert
one of my main bugbears is that people don't read all the posts in a thread

Very hard to read when people don't use CAPS and punctuation marks!

Ha! Ha!..... Serves you right for moaning about SRS's excellent service
and then you go and buy one where the service is so good that they
sell you a manual is Spanish!

God works in mysterious ways!

Best Wishes from me as well Eddie.... You should be able to take
photos OK with an electronic remote such as one of the Yongnuo's
they have focus and shutter release with half and full press
just like the camera and show red and green leds to indicate which one.

The different shades of green in the last one do look nice.

There's no need to drink luke-warm coffee
It can be re-heated in a microwave in just 5-10 seconds!
