Anonimity is what dpr thrives on. The heated exchanges are part of devalues dpr as a serious forum but I have to say I'm as guilty as the next man (or woman) of enjoying the cut and thrust. When I want to get serious on dpr I head to the lighting forum or pro digital talk. If you just want a cyber scrap then hang out in open talk, news canon 20D or canon 1d forums. Lots of time wasting to be had there!
Example: "Hi I just leased a studio. What camera and lights should I buy?"
Opps! That was in the lighting forum I think
