I guess that part of my frustration is that there is nothing happening re:
photography on any of my other lists. True, they are strictly moderated, but
we seem to be in a flatline mode. Perhaps photography, in general, is
bottoming out. None of the grocery stores I frequent carry photography
magazines any more. The huge supermarket where I usually shop stopped
carrying camera batteries this week. Maybe I'm in a funk, or maybe
photography is in a bit of a funk. I guess I feel like I'm more interested
in it than the forums are these days.

Jeffery -  Just to put things in perspective, I belong to way too 
many e-mail lists - about 30 at last count - all supposedly about 
some aspect of photography.  The LUG has more real conversation about 
photography, the meaning of photography, and the actual taking of 
photographs than all of the others combined!!  Just try something 
like PhotoForum for awhile and you'll come to appreciate how well we 
stay on topic at the LUG!

Then there are those lists like PhotoNewsNetwork (Pro, Digital, 
Wedding, Architecture -and don't dare stray into another field!) 
where the moderators jump in and stomp anybody who strays off topic, 
but those lists are very stiff and professional with no fooling 
around.  Educational at times but boring!  I feel like I'm at a 
seminar sometimes. Give me the LUG anyday.
