I understand completely what you said Malcolm, it is just noticable that the thread stopped completely after your comments.  I certainly don't post photos to show off my prowess with a camera, and if that is what people think, then I won't bother.  I stick to my opinion, that TT enthusiasts like looking at IOM photos, with or without racing in them.  It also adds interest to the Forum once the TT is over, and is a good way to get more members actively involved. Just my opinion, for what it is worth.
