Stephen,

If your life is so full that you don't have time for cordialities, just hit
the delete button.  I spend enough time alone in the darkroom, filing, and
traveling (which can be really lonely) that I really enjoy the
communication available on the LUG.  I read every trivial comment and
attempt at humor - even when I come back from a trip and have over 2,000
messages.  Either learn to speed-read or hit the delete button. Comments
from LUGnuts could never be meaningless!  :-)   Tina
