Is this poster seen as being less "afraid" about posting their name because they didn't use the "anonymous" button? Is a pseudonymous post different? It is said that Mary Ann Evans wrote under the name George Eliot to be taken seriously.

According to spellcheck (I cut and pasted the text into Word to check it), I mis-spelled: "decieving" (should have been "deceiving") and "relevatory" (should have been "revelatory"). These have been corrected. If there is a mis-spelling of a quoted person's name, it's because of my cut-and-paste of previously mis-spelled names.<BR/><BR/>Since Blogger doesn't have a spell check, you'll just have to overlook a few typographical errors from time to time. If those errors cause you, or anyone, to think less of the sentiments, then so be it.<BR/><BR/>Or, perhaps, this post hit too close to home for you, and you became uncomfortable.<BR/><BR/>If you're genuine concern is that you really want my posts to have maximum impact, and you honestly feel that the power of the message would improve with a correction, perhaps you'd do better to click on the link to e-mail me, and share that insight, as others have done.<BR/><BR/>If, on the other hand, you are referring to errors in previous posts, and "attacks" I may have made, then perhaps you're taking this opportunity to obfuscate (thanks Tom) with your extraneous challenge when what you do realize is that, for example, signing WMFH contracts is bad, and you just don't know how to do things the right way in order to succeed.<BR/><BR/>Welcome to the Forum, Anonymous.

The master invites the new student inside and says, ''OK, let's first have some tea''.<BR/><BR/>The student sits down and the master brings out a tray with a pot and two cups and begins to pour the tea into one of the cups.<BR/><BR/>The master pours and pours, until the cup is full. But then he keeps pouring. The tea spills over the side of the cup and onto the tray.<BR/><BR/>Staring in disbelief, the student remains silent out of politeness.<BR/><BR/>The master continues to pour, until the tea flows over the edge of the tray and onto the floor.<BR/><BR/>Finally the student can take it no longer.<BR/><BR/>"Stop!''<BR/><BR/>The master stops pouring, looks into the student's eyes and says, <BR/><BR/>''You're just like this cup.

As for my use of the word "attacked", my reading of several posts was that either the intelligence or professional ethics (or both) of a group of photographers were being more than just "commented" upon, and the word "attacked" seemed the best fit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553278593406733377.post-90935290830248461582007-04-26T07:44:00.000-04:002007-04-26T07:44:00.000-04:00While John may have some typo's, I don't see an at...While John may have some typo's, I don't see an attacks on the ethics of others.<BR/><BR/>When did commentary become an attack?
