Like I'd mentioned, my prime reason for coming to check out this site was purely because I had a need that I wanted meeting - I needed to get some camera gear. That was my primary reason. I then posted 25 messages in quick succession, whereby I felt they had no real substance, more like, 'hey, nice photo' rather than anything that felt I could really contribute on.
I don't alway feel the need to make a comment - I've just been searching others posts for ND filters and reading through a load of old post - this happened to be one of them, and again the title motivated me to check it out, even though it was 6 months old. I only posted because someone else did just before me to revive it I suppose.
I know that down the line I'll be asking questions if I can't find other threads about what I'm looking for.
Because I still don't really know how the classified section works yet it's hard to comment fully, but, I see it like this - if, in the future, I need some bit of kit or want to swap my gear out, then when I've made that decision I might not be able to get into the classified section - which means I'd have to look elsewhere. On the other hand, if i keep my involvement up so that the classified always remains open, then all I'm going to end up doing is going, 'oooo, someone's selling xxxx, maybe I NEED that' so I end up buying stuff I don't need.
Dilema!
