GRIN! Not cool Bill. Most of the folk on the list try harder than that. They are not like your customers.
OTOH I still find that when in practice I can operate a fully manual camera faster than most autocameras will work (I am talking about set proper exposure, compose, focus, and shoot; not number of frames per second.) But the folk who have never bothered to learn how to use a camera do not belive that. Some of them don't believe that when they see it, you should hear the excuses...

And I'm not saying that taking piles and piles of photos with a smaller ratio of "winners" is a bad thing - it's always been said that taking lots of photos is a key to improving.
Usually, by people who take bad photos. The way to improve is to look at pictures and analyze why they work, and more importantly, why they don't work.
Taking lots of pictures used to be advised because it made the photographer more adept with the equipment.
That was when you actually had to operate a camera to be a photographer.
Now, all you have to do is point the camera in the general direction of what you want to shoot and push a button.
This doesn't take any skill.
