Links to retrography.com
You seem to be adding quite a lot of links to the top page of retrography.com.
I first noticed this in this edit of yours to Nettar, where you write Nettars on Retrography.com by Simon Simonsen, Denmark.
I took the link and arrived at a page that didn't mention the Nettar. There seemed only one link to click, so I clicked it and reached a second page that didn't mention the Nettar. The likeliest option then was collection.htm. This page also didn't mention the Nettar.
It increasingly looks as if you are just trying to get people to visit that site.
The site has adverts, but clearly it is related to cameras. It could be worth linking to in some way. Please, therefore, link to it sparingly and helpfully, otherwise all links to it will be zapped.
Notes for the webmaster, if you happen to be in touch with him:
- The truth is, that out of the japanese policy of shameless copying western designs, did in fact come many really good and excellent cameras. / The truth as I see it is that out of the Japanese policy of improving on others' designs came many really excellent cameras.
- there are room for yet a couple of small manufactures of totally mechanical analogue cameras, if anyone dared to invest in the right project, but they would have to be of outstanding quality, handbuilt in Europe, / Because, of course, Asians are incapable of such work, as evidenced by (to take just one example) Nikon's recent utter failure to re-create the Nikon SP. (Oh, no, wait -- Nikon succeeded, didn't they?)
- I have deliberately chosen not to collect American cameras. The main reason for this is (of course) that they, in my opinion, are nothing worth collecting. / Right, as evidenced by such trashy cameras as the Deardorff, Anscoflex, Kodak Medalist and B&H Foton.
That website aside, I encourage you to add content to Camerapedia. -- Hoary 08:07, 27 January 2008 (EST)
