I have certainly brought many people to the site and have even conference called with a friend using the resolution tools. I miss Dan Browning's knowledge he has been rare since moving to Nikon.

I have benefited greatly from the expertise on the site, beyond the technical expertise. The spirit of helpfulness of the TDP'ers is simply not found anywhere else exceedingly few flames and wonderful apologies the one or two times it happened - even a TDP'er will have a bad - just less common than most.

I am hoping the slow down is that people are out taking pics and enjoying their equipment and sharing images, etc.

My perception is that there was a leap in technology 2 years ago or so, and lots of the tech was robustly reviewed and debated (sensor resolution mostly) I am wondering if people are searching the site for the answers to the questions before asking them and making use of the wealth info in the historical archives?

I enjoy the discussions of the TDP community, the questions, answers, and insights - even though I don't have a lot of time to push the shutter button, I can relive some of those moments with the discussion groups here.
