Eclair Cameras: To August

[Michael Welle <mwelle@starband.net>]

I'm not the moderator of this group, but I found many of the statements 
in your last e-mail to be very disrespectful to Eric.  For example: "Not 
to be rude but your email sounds like you may have been smoking too much 
weed," was uncalled for and the fact that you had to catch yourself by 
stating "not to be rude" indicates that it is rude.  Kind of like the 
statement, "No offense, but you're (insert any insult here)."

I would also like to mention that I have found many of your postings to 
offer destructive rather than constructive criticism.  What that does is 
to make this forum a place that I would rather not frequent. 

In the past you made the statement:  "If you don't understand basic 
camera function, you probably shouln't be shooting film."  This 
statement was (in my opinion) downright fascist in nature, and you even 
said you were sorry in a later post...I wonder how sincere that apology 
really was.  It reminds me of another quote from Elvis Costello:

"History repeats the old conceits, the glib replies, the same defeats, 
keep your finger on important issues with crocodile tears and a 
pocketful of tissues."

My two cents...Hope this doesn't start a long thread...because I'm not 
posting for at least a week in case this doesn't cool down.
