I've been on this list for 2 weeks (963 messages not counting some bulk 
throw-a-ways!) and I am amazed at the volume that has circulated. I had 
something to do with the pressure plate thing since I had the problem and 
asked the question. How it grew from there!!!

I've also been involved in the digital printing/scanning/manipulation 
thing which Jim did not mention. Is this kind of subject off topic for 
this list? Marc - what IS on topic here?

I'm afraid to post this to the list - thinking about maybe generating a 
couple of hundred messages that might follow, so I sent only to you Jim, 
who posted the quoted message above and you Marc, list administrator.

I'm also on the Rollei list that Marc runs and the difference in the 
demeanor of the posters is considerable, its mostly a pleasure to read. 
I've learned a lot there.

I don't know what to say about my LUG experience.  My head swims. I know 
I've enjoyed the posts of members web sites and seeing their work. Picked 
up some interesting technical stuff too. I sure had to wade through a lot 
of crap to get it though!

Does this list need to be divided? One of the new ones could be for 
bitching and complaining, the other for photographers? Seriously, could 
that happen?  And how? Should I/we just filter the heck out of it?

Just in as I write:
