Bill, This is a frequent problem with pics that are scanned at a low dpi. The
minimum should be 300 dpi and they should be saved as TIFFs. TIFF is a
lossless, high quality format; JPEG, on the other hand, can lose pixels every
time you reproduce it.
Rescanning a bad scan just adds insult to

I think I finally understand.
Plastic bags and global warming are off topic,
Describing why they are off topic is on topic.
If I disagree with you it is off topic.
If I agree with you, it is on topic.
If you agree with me, it is really really on topic.
And poking fun at inconsistencies
Tomorrow, Jan 15, is the deadline for articles for the Jan-Feb issue
of the Southwestern cavers. If you've done anything cave related
since the winter tech, tell us about it!

The program will be:
The Soudan Mine and Mars

Dr. Alexander will discuss the evidence of the presence of liquids and
the possible presence of microbial life on Mars using the Suadan Mine in
northern Minnesota as an anolog. Dr. Alexander will also
George, I understand your point and as a newbie I, myself, was guilty of a
certain amount of this (although I now try to respond directly rather than to
the whole list most of the time). However, I would like to know what you
consider cave related. I would think certain topics under global
I'll throw out my two cents on this, and by no means do I think its the only
way to do things, just my opinion as a list user :)

inherited them as list owner from Mr. Bentley, but they give suggestions.

Louise,
I think all that is required is common sense and not any strict
authoritarian edicts. The rules say cave related so, for example:
Plastic bags: Discussing new uses in caving is cave related. Discussing
their molecular structure and mileage if converted to oil isn't.

Just my two cents...probably won't matter too much except to me. :-)
I was an active caver awhile back...not so active in the past several years due
to family career constraints.
What I enjoy about cavetex is the radically dynamic nature of the conversations
I read on the list.
What makes
Scott,
This will be my last post on the matter. I've commented far more than I
wanted to.
I agree that there have been some interesting OT conversations, but now that
a list has been set up for them, those who enjoy them can subscribe and
send/get them, as well as the regular

I keep a blog, but I'm not very good at writting in a consistent manner, and
I'm not terribly satisfied with some of the layout on my blog. You can check my

Please join in a lively discussion at o...@texascavers.com. If it is important
to you, a caver, it is worthwhile to talk about. Like Caving, we're about the
Journey, not the destination. Respect is key, so is participation. While I fear
the divisive nature of this approach, I'm willing to give
I'm on both because I really like caves, and I really like Cavers and their
conversation is lively and interesting. I don't agree with a lot of them ,
and I don't believe a lot of them, but I like listening to'em and
reading'em.
I hope Gil comes over here. I learned some interesting train

I actually had someone send the owner (ot-ow...@texascavers.com) an

Well, Charles, though I think we've been here before, there are no

So, I'm going to have a baby late this summer. I am personally very excited
about that... but as a caver, I'm starting to have fears. I'm starting to worry
that I'm going to lose ground on whatever skills I have, and because I do plan
to breastfeed for an extended time, that I will really miss
We have a total of 5 subscribers so far, I'm really surprised David

Sorry Kara, and to answer the poll, I do not, it's a hassle and I know
its no excuse, but it's not convenient which is what most people
have problems with. I do ask for no sack when I'm picking things up

I totally understand. I think that is most people's objection. I wonder what
would make it more convenient? A change in the way we think, or if there is
actually something physical that would make it more convenient.
My biggest pet peeve is that they just put one or two items in each bag! If I
I think the supermarkets should offer you an eco-friendly solution,
they make tons off of us, they should help the environment by offering
an alternative, even if its a few $0.01 more... I know IKEA offers

Kara, you are clearly feeling a lot better! Glad to see it!
I agree that this splitting of the list is silly and divisive and doomed to failure,
but in the meantime, I don't want to miss any of the juicy bits!

Can we keep this offtopic list well offtopic? This message was too on
