I have only been on this list for a few days but is this the Bob Shell,
formerly of Shutterbug fame, who left probably because of the creeping digital
camera silliness, which is mostly about computers and programs, and which has
by now pretty much destroyed the magazine??

Different TAG. The TAG that sold Alpa was a US company, The Alpa
Group. I still have some of their literature in my Alpa file. I don't
remember the name of the man from Berkey who started it, but I remember
that after the bankruptcy he was universally referred to as "that SOB".
