The Takumars were excellent lenses, and would be my first choice. They are still very easy to get hold of.

I note that despite saying they were going, both Ralf and Stefan are still lurking here.
I just think it's time to go on again like you said.
If you think i'm very silly then so be it, i know who it says.
Well have a good night everyone.

If it's the case that the heavy handedness is being instructed from the top, I feel sorry for John for being put in that situation (although AFAIK it is a voluntary role so there's no reason he has to put up with it!) and hope that the message is heard by those in charge.
It would be interesting to know what triggers post deletion. In my case, I am fairly sure that in one instance at least (and possibly more) it has been the result of a complaint by just one person. Since this forum represents quite a cross-section of views, it will become very anodyne if nobody is allowed to upset anybody ever.

Well, if you are mentioning my name, George, then I still answer. I know you don't like silly people talking to you, but you have to put up with that as long as you go on writing such a nonsense.
If you read my post careful you will find that I said I would be leaving for some time and check back from time to time if things change.
Of course this thread is still of interest to me and I will continue to follow it. That is all of my activity for now.

Some people accept it and move on; others make an issue of it.
I don't think JR should have deleted/edited my posts, but presumably some nitwit complained and he felt it best to wield the blue pencil. It's JR's decision; I respect him for the vast amount of time he puts into making this site run smoothly, and I am not going to get into nit-picking arguments.

The point is that whether we agree with a decision or not, or whether we even know why it was done, is not material. We should just accept it and move on. It makes no sense to make a huge issue out of it as Tim has done now, and as I think Gareth has done in the past, and as Karl thinks we should.
Anyway, I think it's time for bed.
Goodnight.
