Mr. Hiltz:

You should have asked more clearly what information you were looking for and for 
what purpose. I am not in the habit of disclosing the details of my "equipment" 
to just anyone especially to someone I have not met or do not know what purposes 
they are looking for this information.   Thus,  if it is rude for me to take 
what I consider to be normal safety precautions, especially in dealing with 
strangers, on a very public Internet list serve and that I do not know who is 
lurking or collecting this information- then you are free to consider this 
procedure to be "rude."

I have been more then generous in answering any questions about photography or 
birding with folks who come up to me asking about my "equipment' and I have and 
will continue to encourage folks to take up photography and/or to join the Bird 
Society.  However, I are more wary of what I disclose in a public internet 
forum.  I remain. 

Sincerely,

Mr. Young

Tuma, 
 
          Being an amateur photographer I was curious to know what you were 
shooting with and at what focal lengths but if this is what you call "choosing 
the right behavior" (rude) you can just keep it to yourself!


Jeff
