Apparently Morgan you have not been around when guys with names like
video guy post in this newsgroup asking for videos of of airplane
crashes and all of the details so they can make videos for profit. This
has happened in this newsgroup on several occasions. If Video guy is not
that person or a person like that then I apologize. IMO it is not funny
when people go phishing for gory videos and details of peoples
misfortunes to make money.


I've been around for several years now, and I also despise the crash
mongers. I have not seen any of this type of behavior from video guy, and
did not read any of that type of behavior in this line of questions.

An understandable sensitivity, but in this case I think (and hope) it is
not
warranted.

It may or may not interest many of you, and some NOT at all, but videoguy is
a handle I took because I have a small video production company. It is not
my main source of income, but rather a hobby that has slowly evolved into a
small business. I am extremely particular about the type of videos I make.
Most of what I shoot is for other clients. In fact, I frequently decline
shooting a project that I feel is in poor taste, or that it might be
considered in poor taste by others. I certainly would NOT shoot (or even
edit for someone else) plane crashes, or any type work that contains gore or
exploits another's misfortune.

Additionally, I am a long-time and strong supporter of general aviation, and
a member of AOPA, EAA and EAA local chapter 32 in St. Louis, MO. The only
video I have been privileged to participate in that was in any way
aviation-related is a project about Chapter 32 and their Young Eagle
program. It isn't complete, but hope to finish it before YE day '05.
Incidentally, I explained much of this previously to Mr. Springer when he
accessed me of wanting to make a negative video about the Young Eagle
program. Guess he just forgot.

Personally, I am offended by his knee-jerk reaction to my questions. Would
he have been so venomous if my handle had been "sparky" or "'lectrician"?
Or... has the fact escaped just *me* that everyone who works in any capacity
with video work is automatically a slime ball?

PS Since I posted the name of my video company, I guess NOW I am a spammer!
