I am normally in the background picking up information from the bits and pieces that are being presented. I am, constantly, amazed about the way the pieces fill in the blanks in camera history. The sharing is participation not bickering. Various items which appear to be correct are clarified by different information supported by qualitative authority. This demonstrates an intellectual pursuit. I think it is unfortunate when a new member fails to understand the process and seeks to criticize or change it. Perhaps, it is best for such a person to stay in the background and benefit from information of interest or leave. Marc runs a good user forum and steps in when the emails get out of line. Thanks Marc.

Well, it's only been a few weeks since I rejoined the list(s), and already it's time for vacation. In that short time, I got a clear reminder of why I didn't bother rejoining after last year's holiday (endless pointless bickering over 20 grams of weight here or there that have nothing whatsoever to do with anything, as if life isn't short enough already not to concentrate on important matters), as well as why these two lists are great places to hang out (Bob's great stories, Richard's seemingly endless knowledge, Daniel and Sanders wonderful shots, as well as all the others - you all know who you are, I can't name everyone....) So I'll be weighing over the next few weeks while away (with my 6008i2 and newly acquired Super-Angulon 40/3.5, among others) whether there's sufficient signal to make the noise merely a nuisance, and not a reason to go somewhere else. Hope everyone has an enjoyable summer and gets a few keepers, whatever that might be to you :-).
