GA2G, a coule of questions for your brain:
Imagine you have been looking for a rare 1972 lo-pro frame for many years, then someone, who has never posted here before, posts - in the classifieds section (something you are free to ignore) - the very frame in you have been searching for ?
Would you join in the chorus of fuck off you cunt (or whatever your own way of telling him he is out of line might be) - or do you abandon your arbitrary tribal moralising and try and buy the frame ?
Also in my above 'lens' analogy (again here below). . . .
"*Suppose you have some old camera lenses you want to get rid of, a quick Google brings up 'PhotographyUK.co.uk' - seems like the right sort of place, most of the forum members are based in the UK, it's even got a classified section, you - quite logically - think these people may well be interested in these old lenses, so you join up and post your lenses in the classified section.
Should you be unperturbed if you are told by the forum members to fuck off and take your shit elsewhere ?"*
. . . . if you had to sell something like this, would you simply rule out photography forums, and not show this photography community the lenses you are getting rid of, even though logic tells you that these are exactly the people who would be interested in this stuff ?
