I'm a vendor that rarely posts here because I get slammed for " advertising " when I merely respond to a posting with availability & cost. Instead, if possible, I contact individuals directly when we can supply their title.
My observation is that Caryl is right on target in describing this list as very similar to a chat room. In fact, it should be clear to all subscribers that seemingly half of the postings are from 2 or 3 individuals who must know who they are. Just my humble opinion..... Your search for sound & video ends here!

Switching to digest was not helpful. I would like to see a review of the purpose of the list (as listed at the bottom of this message) and the guidelines for contributions as I'm considering unsubscribing. Broad and lively discussion is one thing. But it's feeling like a chat room and I've got other things to do if the members aren't going to get back to meaningful discussion.
