Not pointless at all. Interface is important to me and at least a few others who subscribe to the list. While Paul may have called it a flame war, I saw it more as an informed, but rather excited, debate. We see this kind of thing when intelligent people with their own opinions get together. > > What the List really needs is effective > moderation that would curtail childish nonsense > long before it gets to this stage.

And if anyone at Pentax actually does read the list, a properly formulated subject line is all they need to wade through the crap. The lack of moderation is one of the reasons I stick around, I suspect it's one of the reasons lots of folks stick around, and it certainly brings out personalities. I still feel like the new guy around here, even though it's been a bit over a year, but I've met more people "for real" from this list than all the others I have ever subscribed to combined. All of whom I'd like to stay in touch with for years to come. Flames aside, the nature of the list encourages conversation, friendship and cooperation. Go apply your moderation somewhere else. -- Scott Loveless http://www.twosixteen.com -- "You have to hold the button down" -Arnold Newman
