Thanks useful information: 38
Why do I have this feeling that we're all part of a combined psychological test / April 1st hoax? Are we inadvertently offending a genuine but misguided young photographer .... or are we being played like fish on Rick's tackle?
My money's on the latter!

Time to confess.
This member was created by me and the intro is completely FAKE.
April Fools Day it is
Now the fun part. I am going to give away an USB drive to...Geoffsta..for not falling for it, and...Aussiegirl...for her great reply.

I was going to post a reply along the lines of --- Sally, if you need fast cash to buy pro gear, get down to a street corner in St Kilda and start acting like a pro ---- but Rick said it was in bad taste.

Unfortunately Geoff beat you to it..maybe a USB drive will be yours next time BillOriginally Posted by William

I hope Kym was consulted.
PS: And I feel a bit miffed that Pentax slagging is rewarded, and Canon bashing isn't, well it was a only a little bash, more of a prod really.

Thanks Rick, & mods.
It was a case of wife at work, and me bored to death. Spent a lot of time on the net.
Two things gave it away... One was Rick's response. A bit too calm I thought.
The second thing was when Rick was offline, Sally was on. Whether it was coincidence, and someone else was Sally, I wasn't sure.
But a fantastic thread. The responses from members was varied. Some even giving the "either side of the fence" replies.
Enjoyable day. What a fantastic community this forum is...

My view was that amongst a sea of terrible untruths, Phil was one who spoke some truth.
Andrew, for a second there, and actually it was only a mini sec, I thought you may have been a Canon fanboy.My view was that amongst a sea of terrible untruths, Phil was one who spoke some truth.
I agree, but I think your Canon bashing was a little too subtle, maybe get the sledgehammer out next time and make it really obvious
Oh perlease Kevin, we were discussing cameras, not misspelled, inconsistent items of North Korean artillery.Andrew, for a second there, and actually it was only a mini sec, I thought you may have been a Canon fanboy.
Don't get me started on that lunatic administration.

I've only read the first post, and I think that's super Sally.
Will now read the rest of this thread. I need some's

Well, until Rick fessed up, I was going to congratulate Andrew.
Now, since I don't have one with a camera, what phone should I buy? I have a couple of Canon lens's.
And by coincidence, I'd love to see a new member register and introduce themselves as SuperSally. They might get more than they deserved.

I certainly hope not, as every forum user knows, it is strictly prohibited to create multiple accounts. You can even have your member privileges revoked if you do!!!Check two online dots after username.... Rick seems to be offline when supersally is online. Is Rick cross dressing..

I do believe so. I have been questioned as I view the site from work. And as I talked a college into joining, and registered her a work. I got a severe talking to. Took a while to convince Rick not to ban me. Now there are 2 members from work.
Yep. we always investigate when the site reports two people accessing it from the same computer. Occasionally it is genuine, work mates etc, but past experience has shown us that not everyone is honest, unfortunately.
You will notice that SuperSally's account now shows as 'guest' cause I have deleted it.

Well I am intrigued as to how Geoffsta's quote of "unistudent" came out as "inistudent"...
CC, Image editing OK.
