Don,
Your illustrated conduct -- in this thread
and others -- is like a baby in a hospital
nursery who assumes he's good because he
gets a lot of attention, yet seemingly
oblivious to the fact that the only reason
he gets that much attention is only
because he's such a persistent disturbance
and nuisance.
Regardless of how you invision yourself
as a photographer, the fact remains that
you are a great disturbance to this forum.
And in as much as you apparently can't
perceive this and likewise demonstrate
a reasonable degree of restraint in
your posting, I can only hope that the
authorities of pbase forum will see fit
to revoke your posting privilages for the
general good of the rest of us.
