After 20 years association with this list, I find that it has deviated far
from its
intended purpose and I am no longer compatable with most of its
members.
I realize that political discussion has NO place on this
list.
While political
discussion is very important to a democracy perhaps it should be considered in
the light of the forum in which it is placed. Politics generates more intense
feeling than nearly anything else, that's why its often best to confine it to
forums specifically dedicated to it. I say this as a very political person who
tends to say what I think and sometimes regrets it.
I am sorry Bob
Schramm has decided he must leave. If he is still getting any of these
messages I suggest he stick around and let things blow over a bit. The main
purpose of this list is still the discussion of alternative photographic
methods: there are many experts in that field here and, in my experience, most
of the discussion is on relevant subjects.
I think we must
try to preserve some civility in this list even if it has become rare in
general society.
