I showed, using your own examples, that the camera with the flip-out screen was indeed larger and more expensive. And just above you claim that's not the case, which makes you a liar. -- Ray Fischer rfischer(a)sonic.net

Anyone can see that from the record of the discussion. 5mm thicker is not "much bigger", and $799 is not the "near doubling of price", and not "a lot more", than $699 which you claimed. But this is on the record already. Whilst I am quite happy to engage in reasoned argument, I regard persistently being called a liar and an idiot as impolite at best, and close to harassment. David

As you surmise, relative number of Euros behave in the same way as relative numbers of US dollars! I have added rfischer(a)sonic.net to my kill-file, although whether that will have any effect on his impoliteness to one and all and unreasoned discussion I somewhat doubt. Cheers, David

Now you're lying outright. I made no such claim. -- Ray Fischer rfischer(a)sonic.net |
