I'm pretty happy with it right now, more or less. Some things are hard to change. I wish BD wouldn't always insist on having the last word, and would stop including the entire text of the message to which he is responding. I wish Greg and Doug would say nothing rather than attacking when someone is spewing obvious bullshit. I wish Bob wouldn't bait us so much. I wish Mark Rabiner would post more. I wish everyone who had never posted would find something to say, and that regardless of what they say, the longtime bullies would leave them alone. I wish everyone were as polite and talented as Tina and Ted and Kyle and Sonny, as observant as Steve, as prolific as Graham or Don, as artistic as Phong and Nathan and Wade and Mark R and Michael, and as was Steve LeHuray. I'm just spouting off a few names here; please don't fret if I left yours out. If any of you would like to use my servers and software to set up your own list with your own rules, I'd be happy to help you. Marc James Small took me up on that offer to create the Rollei list a decade ago, Stephen Gandy took me up on that offer about a year ago. Tuan Luong and Tom Westbrook took me up on that offer after a referral from Tim Atherton, to host the Large Format Photography Info site. If Mailman will do what you need, and you're willing to be the list administrator, and the topic has vaguely to do with photography, then all you need to do is pick the name for the list and it's yours.
