To use the words from an Anastasia song freely:
I'm sick and tired of people being sick and tired.
I like this mailing list. It's fun to see the questions and the answers. Not
every subject interests me (making paper emulsions to name one), but I just
skip over them. That's easy enough. Other subject have been discussed
before. So what? New people on the list may ask old questions. Many times
they have a new twist or generate new answers. Even the most experienced can
learn from the least experienced by listening to their questions. Everything
else is pure arrogance.
As far as I'm concerned. Feel free to ask and answer as long as everyone is
being polite and has respect for each other. Drag it out as long as it stays
on the subject of silver-based photography. If you get tired of it, skip 'em
and go on to the next or create your own. Don't ever let someone shut you up
or intimidate you as long as you adhere to the rules. If they are bored or
not interested, they may chose leave. That would be nothing but polite.
