The insults were deleted, the sophomoric humor was left alone.
Humor is fine, but when it degenerates into mean spirited attacks and name calling, either mods have to babysit the thread, or we have to shut it down completely. There have been too may threads that have gone the wrong way lately, and this one had no redeeming value.

Why 'stop' @2.8. That's not fair '2' those more 'open-minded' or those who have had 1.2 many cocktails.
Certainly your DOF gets narrow as you approach 1 . . . then everything goes fuzzy as you're finally able to take it all in, and then darkness as the shutter comes down.
Oh I do like this metaphor. Better than the chicken even, though that did result in me giggling audibly in the office.

Ok, now I'm interested… Which thread?
And as to the question about I.Q. requirement... Please keep it low, I like it here… :

Yikes ! Even the mods can't spell humour humor correctly 
It's worth pointing out that the spelling of English words has a heritage running back about 2000 years as it is strongly influenced by the latin ( Romans ) and as that developed over the millennia into other ( but not all ) European languages. This is why humour is spelt with a 'our' instead of how it sounds: 'or'
It was your erstwhile Noah Webster who, after the American War of Independence, when you guys decided you didn't want to be ruled by us Brits anymore ( can't think why : ) published his 'American Dictionary of the English Language' around 1820, and altered many words to be spelt as they sounded, specifically to make 'American English' different. However many of his radical changes to spelling were never accepted, such as spelling women 'wimmen' ;D
To quote Bernard Shaw : 'England and America are two countries separated by a common language' ;D
Anyway I'll keep it :-X now, that's probably made everyone wish the original thread was back

(IQ score / your camera's DR score) > 9
The smaller denominator gives more of a chance for us dumb Canon shooters to participate in this forum. :
Brillant ;D

This is a sound plan, because then all but the most intellectually gifted nikon missionaries would be barred from spreading the holy words of DR on CR

What happens to the people who don't meet the minimum IQ? Do they have to go post on Nikon sites?

we only put the 'u' there because it is correct English spelling,not everyone on CR is from Nth America and we appreciate our own conventions as you do yours.neuroanatomist said:BumpyMunky said:
...and a section for threads where people put a 'u' in words like humor and color. Oh, wait...we already have one.

"intellectually gifted nikon missionaries" may be an oxymoron. But "the most intellectually gifted nikon missionaries" need not be an oxymoron because it might refer to the least moronic of a bunch of morons. Isn't language strange.
