This list is moderated excellently by the list membership. If anyone presents themself as, for example, a pompous pillock, they are very quickly brought to heel. It is only because of Doug's almost absolute hands-off policy that this list is so useful. A number of issues, such as the one presently being discussed have been dissected in great detail and wide range. As far as I am concerned, that has been nothing but beneficial to me. > > > > ------------------------------ > > > > Date: Wed, 8 Mar 2006 06:35:09 -0500 > > From: Paul Stenquist <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: [email protected] > > Subject: Re: which camera to buy? > > Message-Id: > > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; > > format=flowed > > Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > > > > This version of the thread -- an aperture ring > > flame war -- is quite > > amusing. > > Paul > > > > > ___________________________________________________________ > Win a BlackBerry device from O2 with Yahoo!.
