That *you* believe *all* these other people are misguided, is understood. Your fervent belief in this does not change reality one iota. > > You must feel very threatened. That looks like projection to me, John. *I* am not the one who's championing a type of camera that the vast majority of photographers know to be inferior to the SLR. *You* are. Your feeling threatened by being part of a very tiny minority is understandable, but it's useless to try to project your feeling onto the other side.
