Many "spotter" hobbyists post their photos to specialized sites, such as airliners.net for airplanes. And there are tons of photos on such sites, these photographers jut seem to hang out at airports around the world.

I'm pretty sure there are a couple of people on here who are mostly interested in train photos. I saw someone mention that recently, but can't recall what thread.

@markjwyatt is definitely right. Some people really stick to what interests them. Some people like trees. Some people like flowers. Helmut Newton, for instance, really only liked naked women. And David Hamilton really only liked naked young girls. Maybe liking trains is a bit less loaded.

Good advice Eli. You'll never please everyone so you might as well do what you like.

...Seems like the same thing....

I noticed that too. It made me chuckle!

The difference is only where one wants to go. Everyone has their own destination...one foot after the other.

No, Don, I simply do no use the word 'no*'.

But I do hate spell check for "editing" after a message is composed and send is hit.

PS; I will, however, use the word "knot".

It never does this.
But spell check does edit as you type, and it is often the case that one doesn't necessarily notice the changes until after one has hit "send".

Matt, I've checked and found that it does on occasion do exactly as I put forth.

There are many times I've erred so, as a consequence, I made particular effort to see what is happening and found, after posting, the editing has changed post sending.

Cheers.

There might be slight time lags - the post actually happening a fraction of a second after the send button is pressed, giving a very small window of time for spell check to finish what it has already started - but that is a function of your browser and probably things like your cache, but there certainly aren't any machine or software generated changes happening on the forum itself. All edits require intentional human intervention, and are done in real time.

No, this issue is no related exclusively to the forums here at Photrio.com, that is already clear to me.
