Your post is not surprisingly OT, but thet'z Oh-Kay...;-)

There is a wide mix of people here in this NG, with varying

degrees and levels of "professionalism". The OP's comments

tended to place the level of the possible answers (but, can you

get me a paltry $500k for my next project, please...? ;-). I

do know the level of my own expertise and experience, and

respond to posts that fit it with first-hand knowledge (or VERY

close to it...! ;-), and some people actually find that useful,

sometimes...;-) You remind me of a run-in I had over time with

another contributor in a different forum. His response was

always the big-budget "pro" one, when the answer was often

clearly inappropriate - and any attempt to point this out resulted

in insults rather than constructive information-sharing. The "corker"

was when someone asked if it was OK to allow his Mini-DV

camcorder to go above 0db when shooting at night, and this

person answered, "no". If the OP had followed this advice,

the likely result would have been a very clean frame of black

(probably not the desired result...;-). Any attempt to suggest

that there might be a balance between gain rise and subject

visibility was rebuffed (always obnoxiously, of course, so that

the little twerp [me ;-] knew his place...;-). He was at least as

illogical, abusive, irrational, and annoying as you are, but more

often. Since these groups serve for both information and

entertainment, and wrangling with this, well, yes..., "jerk" served

neither purpose, I left the group. Now, much as I might enjoy

exploring the psychological quirks that lead you to not like

me, what I do, what I say, academia in general, or anything

else even faintly related to me, this is not the place. I suggest

that you find a good psychologist instead. And do remember,

the next time you skew the meaning of, or inappropriately

edit, or misrepresent anything I say, that all the NG posts

are archived - and anyone at any time can go look and be

amused by your posts...;-) You can do much better than look

silly publicly - and I know you can post useful info, instead of

junk. Heck, tell us stories about the making of "Die Hard",

or how to solve a problem, instead of insisting on supporting

untrue things like, "Render speed is always an issue.", or

other flat statements with too many exceptions to be

useful. You can do this - I just know it! ;-)
