I just caught Jorge's post in the Snake Pit about the Large Format Photography forum, and I see the conflict some new steps have created. There is a real lack of leadership if such steps are allowed, so I would like to propose the following:
Put a link that is accessible from all places of the hierarchy of this web site that leads to a declaration of the purpose of this web site, as well as a clearly identifiable vision of where it wants to be in the future. Basically a Mission Statement, and a Vision Statement. It may sound rudimentary and somewhat stiff, but it will aid in people understanding why this web site exists, what purpose it serves. That in itself brings members and visitors level and on the same playing field, or at least helps in that direction. If the forum Admin wants to PM me, we can discuss it, and I can offer up some of my time to help writing those statements.
I hope this suggestion is considered seriously so that there can be a definite common cause and spirit here.

Photography is my insanity asylum, where I can focus on making one single thing perfect, while the rest of the world fades into the periphery.

- ThomasThomas, I appreciate all suggestions, and take all of them seriously. This site isn't about what *I* personally want, but about what the membership as a whole wants. I can only find out when people make suggestions. Thanks for passing yours along.

"Fujifilm remains true to its heritage and to the acknowledged superior image quality delivered by professional photographic film products." -- Fuji Press Release An old Hasidic story says we should wear a coat with two pockets in order to receive God's message. In one pocket, the message is: "You are nothing but one of billions of grains of sand in the universe." In the other, the message is: "I made the universe just for you."
