I certainly don't have your expert knowledge - in 5 years of membership half of your 20 posts have been pointing out the failings of other members in posting Fakes and Photo Shopped pics. - and in the remainder you posted 5 pics.
In one year I've posted around 20,000 pics. If it wasn't for people like me, humans who make mistakes, then perfect people like you wouldn't be able to spot fakes and make critical posts.
I wonder what most members would prefer - a 20,000 contributor with the odd fake or a 1 pic per year contributor who is Fake Free.
In another thread I questioned why people Photo Shopped pics and was surprised at the response. People like P/S shots because it gives them the image they want even though it isn't reality.
I suppose you never watch movies because they aren't reality either?
Fear not though you will have more time to spot fakes (or contribute pics) because I won't post in this thread again.
PS Mods if you feel I'm ranting I'll understand if you delete - but at least I've got it off my chest!
