The anonymity of the internet tends to bring out the worst in some people, and chat rooms and forums tend to bring out the worst of the worst. That having been said, I AM an admin/moderator on a photography forum with over 300,000 members. I've had to deal with my share of snarky people who would have you think they know everything about everything, and when they're not on the internet, they're sticking their dog with a fork. I have seen that same attitude in other forums, and even to a certain extent on other boards in this forum, although a bit more restrained than, say, most car and gaming forums. It is natural that I would end up here where everyone is friendly and always helpful. Besides, C&V is a topic (now) near and dear to my heart.

Kudos to the moderators here who seem to keep it all in good shape......
