I have to agree with Richard. I detected the sort of tone and tenor that he described in your original post lunatique. When I read your post before I thought you were dogging some pro's and their equipment and bragging yourself up.
I did'nt wory about the banter, I just looked at the pics. Talk is cheap and the pics do tell the story.
BTW...not to be critical, but I did notice a few pics that had some pretty heavy blurring that was pretty obviously done with ps.
On the other hand the following quote is pretty accurate as I see it.
My point was merely that I see many people obsessed with spending money on expensive lenses and cameras, but not enough time on actually learning about contrast, color, values, composition..etc
Good day.
