Alan is right.

This is a dSLR News Group. Those were digital but not SLR cameras.

"YOU" should have pointed that out in your reply and if you wanted to, then answer the
question.

I always post On Topic. Replies in a thread may go Off Topic.
I almost always Top Post. It is my preference and *I will continue* to do so.

The rest of my replies are inline...

No. It discourages >80 chars/line and more than 4 lines/sig.
When I stated they were stringent rules. A very wise a smart man replied...
"That part of the charter is more of a suggested practice as opposed to
'hard rules' that are set out higher up in the charter.

There is rarely an excuse for more than a few lines in a sig. The bit
about 80 chars is for those who have funky readers that don't wrap
intelligently."

No

A UseNet proponent who has been posting for ~15 years.

You say that like it's something to be proud of. Because you've done it for
15 years doesn't make it right, or even acceptable to the majority; it
merely proves you know how to dig your heels in against the prevailing
current. I'm just sayin'.

None of the above are digital SLRs, so they are not what you
are looking for.

I would suggest you buy the Nikon D70 with the kit lens.
A very good camera with a true SLR feel to it.

Oh Tom....
Some people are like little puppies. Need to be trained and have rules to be
accepted. It's not even a guideline. AFAICT it stems from the dark old days
of teletext when every character sent was an drain on a network. Someone
pointed out on Sourceforge or freshmeat (can't remember which) a set of
proposed standards for Usenet postings which adopted a lot of teletext
guidelines.

A lot of use of Usenet and the quasi standards adopted were from teletext.
Using a personal sig longer than 3 lines with a separator above, added
significant load to messages. If you really are interested in this totally
off topic subject, do a search on Yahoo or Goggle for personal sig RFC. That
should make your day!

Incidentally... Alan's sig is 5 lines in total (4 plus separator). Like I
said in my first post: Some people choose to use the "rules" when it suits
them and deny all knowledge of them when it doesn't. That is just human
nature. If Alan is to be the (unofficial) policeman of this group, then I
will point out his short comings (and there are more than just his sig) when
he gets up someone for doing something he doesn't like. Live and let live,
Alan. And hey... When did you get the DSLR? I thought you were a film kinda
guy.

1) The seperator is inserted by Netscape. 2) 4 lines are hardly abusive. 3) The
Charter for this NG says 4 lines in a sig. 4) The whole point of this NG is
digital SLR equipment and someone stumbled in here with the right question in
the wrong place... all I did was tell his where the right place was. 5) I don't
answer to you. 6) Yeah I shoot film and no doubt I'll be shooting more digital
in the future.

Cheers,
Alan

Amen, top posting is my preference also and I will continue to do it. I do
not wish to scroll to the bottom of the page to wade through everything I
have already read.
