By posting through this site, it helps to prevent receiving spam emails, although I am not sure if I am getting to read all of the replies to the threads. Thank you for your reasonable reply to stick with regular developers. I was curious to know why some people use pyro developers instead of normal non staining developers and what they perceive their advantages to be. I am here to learn from the more experienced photographers and darkroom users. :-) -- Darkroom User

OK, you're forgiven: it's not your fault. The software you're using to post (Photobanter's forum software) is brain-damaged, at least where quoting text is concerned. Most of us here access Usenet (that's where these threads reside) the conventional way, using a mail client (aka "newsreader"), which shows the newsgroup the way [insert name of deity here] intended. You might try it yourself sometime. Actually more direct than going through a web site. And it's very easy to post without receiving spam: just do like me and use a phony "handle". Zero spam. -- The fashion in killing has an insouciant, flirty style this spring, with the flaunting of well-defined muscle, wrapped in flags. - Comment from an article on Antiwar.com (http://antiwar.com) |
