I will agree with all that HATE the shutter sound !
Personally I think it is yet another invasion of privacy.
I do not come to and don't expect to visit this site to be disturbed by some idiot company trying to push their wares.
It is like some wanker from some electric company knocking on your door every time you turn on a light,
asking if you want to buy long life lamps.
I know that CS makes money to keep itself running by having add's flashing at the top of the screen,
but does it also have to invade every move we make (simply reading a post or adding one)?
CS is a silent site.
When I seek to view someons art (photo) I don't have to suffer a track of Grunge or Kylie Minogue whilst viewing.
Why should I have to listen to sounds created by some non interested company ?
When was the last time Bill Gates posted a photo here !!!
