Alf, at least, sticks in there after something springs up as a result
of his existance on the list. Oddmund, by contrast, hits and runs!

Ok, your opinion, mine differs with regard to silliness. It's only
recently that silliness has manifested itself here (in the guise of
humor) Off topicness [sic], however, is rising by the week. The "humor"
and off topic stuff is supported by those who want their entire
photographic and list requirements met by one list. I think you (and I
know I) read as many dedicated lists as necessary to satisy our needs.
Dedication is why I subscribe to lists. But, that's old news to those
who have heard this rant from me before.
Sad thing is that the pioneer of the Usenet photographic groups, Bob
Atkins, is not able to handle his own creations anymore and has
vanished therefrom. AFAIK, he's hanging out on Bob
Greenspun's website exclusively now.
