A good giggle with the last of the breakfast tea!

There ¡s only one probem with this otherwise excellent paper on snapper health: remove the varios symptoms, and the 'serious amateur', considered the main sufferer, will face an even worse dilemma: if not to feed the symptoms, why own photo equipment in the first place? Surely, there can't be enough mental reward/return on investment to be derived simply from using it? Of course not! That's why there exists micro-stock, competitions etc. and associated therapy where placebo treatments are awarded with love and care and the attention due all patients.

Just wait: it'll all be available on the National Health next change of government! Wonderful world.

Doctor,

I think I have all the symptoms, but PFA is the worst.    :(

I'd have to agree with Eric. PFA has to be the worst of the afflictions, though LBA can be a pretty severe problem.

But aaahhhhrrrrr... There it is again, in the first LBA paragraph: "pouring" in place of "poring." What was he pouring over it? This affliction seems to be increasing exponentially. But at least it's not as stupid as: "This begs the question, why did. . .?"

Russ,

I understand. I find I have to lock down my internal Grammar and Spelling Cop whenever I indulge in PFA (or anything on the web).
The one that gets me tied in a knot every time is mixing the two useful verbs "lose" and "loose." When I encounter that particular abuse, I am tempted to "loose the dogs of war" on the perpetrator, but I generally have to settle for "losing" the battle before it starts.

Anyone check this guy's gear list?  I certainly hope the article was written with one eye focused on the mirror.
