That's why we have subject lines. So we can filter out the crap. That's why we never look at a gallery by Larry because we know it will feature about 357 photos and take 42 minutes to scroll through.
And more seriously, the beauty of the email is that we can turn off our computer, actually leave the house with a camera, take pictures for a whole day or more and then when we come back everything on pdml will still be there; we won't have missed a thing. I don't understand how being active on pdml takes time away from photography any more than any other activity would. Seems to me that it's about priorities and choices and they have nothing to do with this list specifically.

I wrote back telling him that there is already a very interesting one called PDML. He agreed, but said that he was once a member of PDML but spent too much time reading PDML mail in his Inbox, and less time on his actual photography. Many a time the number of mails on the same topic was overwhelming, with little or no inputs to stimulate his grey cells and his photography. Perhaps we can ponder on this issue with ways to prune down the number of "non-issue" mails that help only to fatten up the Inbox. The British call it "cotton wooling". I may have stirred the hornets nest, but I took a sincere and calculated risk to highlight this issue to all of you. I beg pardon.
