Awesome. A public service message. I have no problem with that.
To add to your message, also, everyone please stop referring to that effect as HDR, because it is NOT. High Dynamic Range is not a cartoon, does not produce halos around objects, and is safe for children.
The camera can only capture so many stops of light/shadow each click. Combining additional data from different exposures produces real HDR. And this would mean adding additional DETAIL to the image; detail that could not exist from a single capture. Thus, the dynamic range is increased and you have High Dynamic Range.
Raping the contrast on a single image is not HDR and looks really dumb about 99.998% of the time. It does not add detail from additional exposures; it merely distorts the contrast of that existing single capture. The dynamic range is not increased, only molested.
I'm with you Chris. Let's kill those fargging bastages.

This is Why i called it a "FAKE" HDR.
