It completely escaped me what happened with Austin and earlier last year with Daniel Ridings. Are some people reading too much into and out of this list? I had wonderful exchanges with both of them and I made two great purchases from Austin that would not have come about without him on the list. I feel the list is a lot poorer without them. I do wish we'd stay on (photographic) topics and individuals who need to discuss other contentious items find those fora elsewhere. Don't think the list is less valuable if it only generates a few messages (one or two digests) a week but I think having as many people on it as possible makes it a better resource.
