Thanks for your thoughtful comments, Richard,
but, at the least, we are back to discussing
cameras (and I do hope that you have sent your contribution to WKHR!)
We lost more than half our members right after
9/11 when I refused to allow List discussions of
the incident. We bounced back. We have had
similar waves over the 18 year history of our
List. It is the way with such Lists.
We are BOUND to have a declining membership as
folks using Rolleiflex die off and as those who
have never heard of Rolleiflex come to dominate
photography. In 25 years, if I tell someone I
own the Rolleiflex List, they will just look
blank and call 911 for a psych pickup. Maybe I
ought to do a shout-out on the IDCC and ZICG about the existence of this group.
