Quote - I see more and more people not allowing comments under their uploaded pictures when they don’t have time (or are not in the mood…) themselves to comment the other postings !

I think it is a very bad habit :

What do you think ?

What do I think?? I think it's SO ironic, I was just coming to the forum to (maybe) post about this very thing. There is a photo that is very cool in the first few pages. But not only does it have comments disabled, it also says NOTHING about the image itself. No info on where it was taken, when it was taken, Nothing... Not even the shooting data.

I personally don't get it. I try to always put something about the image in my comments.

I not only want to see great photos, but knowledge of where and how it was taken. It's helpful for those of us looking to improve.
    This kind of thing kind of reminds me of some of the 3D artists that use to never say how they did anything unique in their image, like it's their secret and you are not privy to the info or how to.

I am with ya GiMi... I don't like it one bit. ;-)

Well, now that I have ranted and all know my feelings....lol..

Thanks for letting me vent.

PS.. I also get this vibe that Onslow does "It has a hint of elitism".
