So, you shouldn't be chastised for lurking, Steve. It is a 
subscriber's right to lurk. As a lurker, you don't send endless OT 
stuff to the list, requiring, at the least, the reader to make 
judgments as to what he should read or not in what was touted to 
him, originally, as a dedicated list.

Kinda like voting. We're not required to vote, though I'll agree 
that we should, even if it's only a vote against someone, which is 
what most of mine turn out to be. :-(  

Correspondingly, it would be nice if the majority of subscribers 
posted occasionally, but I'd be the last to require it of them.

BTW, some time ago I asked both here and on rec photo.35mm, 
what the difference was between FUJI CZ 800 PRESS at $3.35 per 
36 exp. roll and FUJI CZ 800 SUPERIA at $3.99 per 36 exp. roll. 
Neither forum provided an answer, but B & H, from whose ad I 
was reading, said that the PRESS was a 20 roll 'brick", but that 
they break the brick and sell by the roll at that price, whereas the 
SUPERIA is individually boxed by the roll and sold by the roll, also.

So, it is merely a matter of do you want a box or not? $0.64 for a 
box? Not for me!
