I once thought this too, until I was corrected by a Queen's Counsel I used to work for.
You can't go wrong following a lawyer's advice on accurate, concise, unambiguous and properly punctuated English.

Al
I would beg to differ - "but" is a conjunction, which is a word that joins two phrases together.

Anyway - back to Mr pants.

I should have worked this out earlier. I got rather frustrated last night (for which I apologise to the forum) then it struck me.

He latches on to an discussion very probably on the side which is completely untenable, but this does not matter, because he is never actually going to answer a question or try to justify his stance. Rather, what he does is to twist questions back to inflame the argument.

So next you go "trippity-trop, trippity-trop" across his bridge---

I'm currently trying to find a free web hosting service, boy is it complicated!


I keep getting told to check my e-mails to complete registration, but they're not sending them to me.

When, or if, I manage to find one that works I'll let you know.
Doesn't your ISP provide "free" web hosting?

A blower will work on most dry dust, but may just move it to somewhere else inside the camera. If it gets into the pentaprism/pentamirror, it's more difficult to remove.

If it's pollen, it's sticky, and for that you need . . . . an Arctic Butterfly or a wet cleaning system which, if you are not confident yourself, is best left to somebody else to do it for you.
Seconded. Blowers are not so bad on lenses out in the open, but I would not use one in the body. The butterfly although not so cheap is a much safer option.

They look remarkably good for a first set to me.

Now that is twaddle even by your standards. What were we discussing? Profanity. Remember?

Amoringello - your comment on Ms Security essentials got me thinking. I said above that I had a Trojan that Ms SE missed and Norton stopped. Of course that might not quite be the case. What I do not know is whether Ms SE ran first and missed it or had Norton not caught it, whether Ms SE would have caught it.

Any thoughts?

Mr pants - they were simply hypotheses. If there is another explanation, please enlighten us.

OK Mr pants - why do you have to use profanity here?

1/. It's the only way you can express yourself.

2/. You are indulging in some inverse snobbery where it is considered clever to be less than clever.

3/. You wish to come across as unpleasant and rude and offend people? (Your username speaks volumes on this count.)

Please explain.

If you have just nailed your hand to the bench then by all means drop the F bomb.

The need to use one while discussing is symptomatic of poor use of language.

If "snobbery" is a like of doing things properly, then I plead guilty.
