I grow bored with ongoing discussions, arguments and debates on the merits of various cameras and lenses. I'm going to hang out with you guys more often. Take it easy on me. I'm new.

I've gone the same route :D
I love discussing gear and there is a wealth of information in the forums but a lot is very opinionated. The nature of the forums is also one where we thrive on "spend , spend, spend" and as much as I love to spend money and have nice toys, I watch everyone going nuts, spending a fortune on gear they think they need but don't even know why.

I look forward to discussion with you here in the lighting forum.

You'll soon become bored with ongoing discussions, arguments and debates on the merits of various flash units, diffusers and studio lights.

Not at all Mark. I'm just enjoying it here more and more of the threads I am participating in are more discussion than $$$$. It's a change but I'm not blind to the same type of chatter here as in other forums.
