That is tragic. Why do young people with enormous talent turn to drugs, self destruct and pass before achieving their full potential? Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, etc...Brian Wilson is still kicking but is lucky to be alive today.

Yeah, a lot of young folks seem to either feel "immortal" or else they actually don't care whether they may die from their substance abuse.

I remember when I was that age a lot of us had the idea that we would not plan on living past 25, but I don't remember it as a death wish that led to self-destructive behavior so much as more of a philosophical "shrug". When it came to the "hard stuff" I was never interested, although I admit to pot use back then that could have led to getting "busted"...

Yeah. Honestly Raz, it's like since you finally admitted you are just a kid, you feel that it is a good excuse to change your posting style and act a bit more immaturely.

We've had people in this thread who cause drama, and quite frankly they don't last very long. I'd highly suggest toning it down a bit.

I wonder where ol' Stealthy is these days....

Real friends are always allowed to say things that would get others a fat lip.

Or, since we don't see anyone face to face, would get them ignored. There's a couple on here whose posts I will not reply to. They crossed the line: MY line.

Some people have crossed my line. The are lucky that we are not face to face.

Too much fame and money too soon in life, coupled with too little common sense.

I think your toad says it all in this area. And I concur wholeheartedly.

Mel, want to form an Idiots Make Us Grumpy society (IMUG)? You and I could be charter members.

Sounds wonderful! We can have a thread where we complain about all the idiots we run into.

Good question. Although other than him popping up a few times a few months ago he was before my time. I was more referring to the same guy Omar was

OK, now I'm really worried about the Lightroom stuff. Not to mention pissed.

With good reason.

All the leopard trek site does is point you to the madone bike you can buy of the leopard team. I doubt they are using Bontrager R4 tires as the website says comes stock on the bike.

Hmm.. That's annoying. Whatever they are, they are probably rather expensive

By the way, do you know if Andy/Frank use the same bikes? I know they have a different paint scheme, and trek even has a specific Schleck Edition of the Leopard Trek Madone.

Oh, this website has some info on it. The specs on the bike are a 25mm tire, but I guess they are likely to use a 22mm version during the season.

I wasn't in the thread that got him banned -- his last "listed" post was Dec. 28 of '10, so it must have happened shortly after then, but I don't want to muddy the thread waters by poking around the matter!

Hey Jake.

DO IT! It's a good thing you still have your crop body. It will give you some extra reach

Yeah, probably. It might be worth looking into renting one.

No need for a monopod on the 400 f/5.6

Hmm I guess it really isn't that big of a lens.
