I agree. But you have to remember, many of the messages that are
appearing even now are in response to the initial posts in the thread.
I assumed early on that Aaron used a digital camera for more than
high-volume stadium photography. I think most others did the same. It's
very rare that someone uses a camera in only one venue.

situation
clear to all (perhaps even reiterating it), messages were still posted
criticizing his choice and questioning his decision.
Even if one were to think Aaron's a complete idiot for shooting JPEG,
it's
still his choice to do so in a venue that is unique and decidedly
different
than where most of us on this list shoot. And, considering his need
for a
speedy turnaround, and JPEG's being acceptable to the buyers, it makes
perfect sense.

It's actually easy to see how it happened, however unfortunate it may
be. I think I was the first to respond, and I did answer Aaron's
question in brief and referred him to other sources. Godfrey answered
it in detail. I expressed surprise that Aaron was shooting jpegs.
However, I didn't know that he shoots only high volume in only one
venue with fast turnaround. Of course he didn't reveal that until many
had expressed surprise. Just a simple misunderstanding. No big deal.
