Pete, it may be that most on the Rollei List do not really use Rollei's that much anymore and/or they are so experienced with the camera that just about everything have already been discussed several times over the years. I notice diminished items in the Friday sale. When I first came on the list about 7 years ago, there were more listings and much more response when items were offered. There seemed to be more newbies coming on the list looking for stuff and discussing the elemental aspects of the Rollei they had. Most on the list now seem to be quite advanced , except me of course. Maybe the newbies have gone for the digitals now. I am not complaining because I enjoy many of the off-list conversations. Further, when one needs advice or a part or accessory the list is invaluable.Also there seems to be less political tension since the other list started. r PS Pete if you named a list "off topics" there is a danger that Rollei's would be extensively discussed. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Kotsinadelis" <peterk727@xxxxxxxxx> To: <rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, January 31, 2005 10:07 AM Subject: [rollei_list] Re: Create a NEW LIST > At one time there was some Rollei content, but this list has been > hijacked by several individuals who like to use this forum as their > soapbox to espouse their knowledge (and some lack-of-knowledge), hence > there are more off-topics than on-topic conversations. > > Peter K > > > On Mon, 31 Jan 2005 07:50:23 -0800, Ed Rudolph/Video Arts > <erudolph@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> Hi Peter, I'm new to this list and have found very little Rollei >> content here.
