.....in person, I'm really really shy, and probably would never have jumped into any of these conversations.

Like anyone would believe that!

I can't make out what your edited word was, so I'm not sure how to answer your second question. :)

Starts with "h" and ends in "-ard".

....Im here because my photo's suck too much to post in the Critique section, my gear list is so limited i cant post there and my technique is so non existant i cant post there! But im happy as a Canoner in POTN here!:D

Neil, you're my new hero! A guy who knows he knows nothing, but loves trying to do something all the same!

I guess I'm sor t of in the same boat as Chrissy...

Probably not a bad place to be!
:D

...The Lounge allows me to release my inner photography geek as well as get a little off the wall from time to time with like minded people.

I agree 100%, Jay. And like Chrissy said before, I've no friends who are into photography as much as me (who can speak English!!!), so in here, I can release all those geeky thoughts about what a joy it is to fiddle with a rear-activated grimble-threaded side-loading shutter-curtain.
;)

M*A*S*H.....

Now THAT was a great TV show.

Trust Roger to bring nakedness into the thread....tut, tut, tut!

You do realise we're all "real" people don't you?
And is "getting a nerd on" similar to "getting a **** on?"
[Wonder why that word was edited out?]

I still haven't purchased a camera. Searched POTN to get some help regarding which to buy. Not much luck so now I just lounge around.

How do you avoid yourself?

Only a ninja can truly avoid a ninja.

I just turn invisible and keep saying "Where am I?!" to myself. Pretty easy once you get the hang. ;)

That alas is a skill known only to Ninja's and any breach of secrecy regarding the rule causes the Ninja in question to cease to exist (something to do with paradoxes and space time continuum)

So they say... so they say.

It seems the same people post in these weird threads that I hang out on... in... sideways...

Does that count as a "clique" can we start excluding/ignoring new people yet? When do we start getting insulted at perceived insults?

Who said I'm real?!

All my posts are figments of your collective imaginations... you are all actually a hypnotised 40yo father of 10... you're all in Los Vegas on a family holiday.

You will wake in...

I know nobody will believe this, but I dabbled in hypnosis years and years ago....way before I went to university as a "mature" student and graduated in Educational and Child Psychology! And I have to say, it works....not on everyone, but it does work.

I am in your power... boss me around....

Quite ironically "someone" added: I'm not intelligent enough to talk about photography, so I'll just talk about meaningless crap instead

:lol: Nice, I would have voted for that one!
