I often get misinterpreted especially my humor. Also, language and cultural differences often add to the confusion. If my wisecracks might be misunderstood, I try to remember to add a smilie. Doesn't always work though and I've ticked off people anyway. Sometimes I have to apologize which isn't easy.

I find jokes add to the conversation and make us human. I try to make jokes about myself. It's really easy to get too serious on a website and lose our humanity. After all, we should be more friendly to each other since we share the same hobby.

True. All of it. But I can see I’m not the only one confused by Phileppe and Sirius “advice”.
There is tendency these days to test the waters with something speculative or outrageous and then swiftly declare it “a joke” when people balk.
Schrödinger jokes.

Best to tell jokes about yourself. It's never funny to the guy who slipped on the banana.

Pretty sure Sirius was serious with his suggestion (regardless of how strange it may seem to anyone).

More humorous than serious. If someone goes many years to shoot a roll of film, a certain level of desperation must creep in.

Well, there are often cultural differences between what is found hilarious and an outright insult. What the Brits find politely diplomatic, the Dutch find deceitful. And what the Dutch regard as honest, the Brits regard as rude. I don't think there is even a term for "tact" in Dutch. My sister, being married to a Dutch professor, sure learned that early on. Likewise, a lot of impatiently curt city dwellers can't appreciate all the story-telling that rural types often find the key to trust and socialization. I've had to live in the extremes of both worlds, so know the mantra. Blue collar settings survive on raw humor and practical jokes; and anyone too sensitive for that is not apt to last long. On this forum, we need to even accommodate "squares" concerning their own gear preferences.

Well anyhow, I probably won’t seal the Ektachrome camera in a plastic bag. In Salt Lake City (which will be renamed Salt Dust City when the lake dries up) the humidity levels typically hover between scratchy throat and cracked skin.

Does anyone here have experience regarding the latent image stability of Kodak’s current E100?

Here’s the situation: I rarely use color film, and a few recent rolls of print film just reaffirmed that I prefer slides. I am thinking of dedicating a light SLR body to color only. I could tuck it in my bag and only use it when I see a color picture, which doesn’t happen often. Seeing 36 of them could take a year, so the first frames would of course sit around undeveloped for a while, suffering unknown effects.

I realize there are variables such as temperature, but for the argument, let’s assume the spare body spends most of its life downstairs around 68-72 degrees Fahrenheit.

It helps when the only color is you know black and white!

Uh, thats two colors.

Don't most of us tone our "black and white" prints? I'm pretty fussy about the final look, and it pretty much squelches the notion that color vision doesn't count in black and white technique. You can obviously even choose from "warm" and "cool" papers to begin with.

All right, I guess you never learn anything if you don’t try. One of the local shops got a shipment of E100 so I loaded my FE with a roll. Should have results before the end of the year if I can spot enough color…
