I don't necessarily think it IS a good idea - but brainstorming is a good route to better solutions, and that means discussing all the options.

Neither do I appreciate your dismissal of a 'photography club' somehow operating within ET. There aren't Energy Clubs, Politics Clubs or Astrology Clubs. Visuals are part of today's discourse and there are a few people here (and I believe you are one of them) who think that visuals, (eg charts) can do things that text can't. Photographs, whether personal or from elsewhere, can also make text come alive. Some people are interested in improving their skills in this direction for the benefit of ET as well as their own communications expertise.

And last but not least, photos have a social role to play in this community.

You haven't answered my question above about whether anyone is preventing discussion. We discussed the collapsed-thread option. If you have more to say about it, go ahead.

I didn't "dismiss" a photography club "somehow operating" in ET. I said we shouldn't create a separate club, particularly with different access conditions. I was simply warning against something I don't think would be a good development.

Obviously I agree on visuals, always have, and I think you know that.

Why are you attempting to paint me as a censor or a prohibitor? As someone who is intent on doing down photographers, who can't see that it's for the benefit of ET or can play a social role? When did I say anything to the contrary? As they say on the blogs, talk about a strawman...

Because you said 'we're not having any of that'. One assumes this to be an official view. There's a useful technical gizmo in Finnish forums that identifies 'sheriffs' (as they are called) when in their official capacity. ;-)

Can you drop this now please? Afew has made some really useful contributions to this discussion, far from stifling it.  

A gnome giving an opinion in a thread doesn't equate to a new rule being laid down.

Thanks. Any chance of a French spell checker?

Perhaps, LEP, you should change your sig to:

De toute façon, qui veut m'épeler "cimetiére"?

:-)

Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner - that I moved to Nice.
