Are Michael Scarpotti and Uranium Committee One and the Same?

Both post to various photography groups. Both claim to be from Columbus, Ohio. In one of his postings, UC told a poster that had inquired about problems he was having with a Nikon camera "you wouldn't have that problem if you didn't use crap jap equipment". Anyone want to place any bets? On the Internet you can run but not hide.

I think you have this one correct. I do not recognize either nick from the various photo groups, that I lurk in, but then he/she could use a ton of them in the course of an average day.

I just had to unblock MS and reload, but both do come from the same NNTP-Posting-Host IP-address of 216.23.119.186. I'd bet any bottle from my cellar that they are one in the same. But now that I have 2 names to killfile, I wonder why so many decent folks like yourself spend so much time arguing with, or talking about these people, rather than just killfiling and ignoring them? Trolls love the attention you give to them, you know? Don't "reward" them, just plonk 'em. Maybe they'll eventually go away and find another way to get their jollies in life.

Your points are valid. But my problem is that I (and others) waste time thinking we are in a real discussion before we eventually figure out that we've been had. I can killfile idiots like Scarpotti but others respond to them and I have to clear out more trash. Eventually they do go away. I just try to hasten their decision to do so.

Yes. I simply wish to quit using my old e-mail address because I get so much spam from newsgroups.

I'm no idiot, Sir. I simply refuse to accept mythology instead of scientific fact. If you think oxygen improves wine, keep on believing it.

There are many myths about wine and photography. Those who accept them call me names because they have no evidence or scientific explanation to back them up.
