Firstly being a non-digest subscriber it is very easy to identify a thread which
is of no interest and delete all instances of that subject, I suppose digest
readers have difficulty with this, their loss. Secondly I wonder what the
message volume would be if all the subscribers pumped out 5 replies a day, I
bet it would be a damn site higher than it is now. Thirdly there have recently
been Pentax related topics that deserved a little more BW ie MZ-S
speculation and release, I am sure the list will settle down again until
someone gets their hands on another MZ-S.
Doug has stepped in to douse the fire a little on occasion, maybe he should
act more as a moderator on very OT threads (political, nazi etc) and simply
stamp on them?
