Mike has forwarded some messages for me in the past, so now I am forwarding one for him.
I contacted him about why he left the list and we have exchanged a few emails. I am going to paraphrase the gist of it. Mike realizes he over reacted to caveman's prick pic. He, like me when I first read caveman's comments, initially thought it was some kind of bashing or making fun of the photo essay he gave the link to. He realized later that night that caveman was talking about the worst at PHOTONET -- worse than flowers, cats, and dogs. And he is no longer angry at caveman. "If he had quoted my entire message it would have been a bit more clear what he was getting at." <snip> "I'll be back on the PDML. Still the best photo-community on the internet. Tell 'em: no hard feelings, but I think I'll take advantage of having overcome inertia in this way*, and concentrate on more productive work for a spell! Best Regards, Mike" * unsubscribing Doe aka Marnie :-)
