As part of my marketing efforts I've branched out and now regularly participate in several online photo forums. Most of the folks on these other forums are generally pretty good people. But one forum in particular, which just happens to be one of the most popular on the 'net for landscape photographers, is chock full of arrogant, obnoxious, pretentious know-it-alls who seem to be compelled to assert their own special brand of jackassery.
I've been a member of RMNP since its humble beginnings as CNP and I can only think of one person, who was quickly run out of the forum, who ever acted in such an elitist manner. The people here are just kind, gracious and all-around damn fine human beings who also happen to be talented photographers. So, thank you, RMNP peeps, for keeping it real. You guys and gals are awesome!

Couldn't have said it better myself Bret!

Just out of curiosity, Bret, what's the name of that other forum. I need a good laugh now and then.

This sounds like a set-up for a new mod if I ever heard one.

Well, except for Todd, id agree with you there, Brett!

This is a great group of people. But now having it in writing I can show my family how lucky they are!
