In defense of the list

hi all,

I don't think apologies for Terry or Judy are really necessary. I
have been on the list for over a year, and have watched the ebbs and
flows. There are periods where the threads are
really stimulating with many people interjecting. Terry and Judy
amongst others have been consistantly online.

It is an international list. There is no United Nations police force
(thank goodness) overseeing this list. It is self masking.
Listservor changes can be tough. We saw that. We have been fortunate
to have the people dedicated as they have been. This is the best FAQ
list in photography out there (wherever that is).
When it is off, it is interesting to watch unsubscribers notes sign out.

I think most of us are using manners befitting an educational classroom.
Thats what this is. I think a little creative juice with some emotion
for what we do is
GREAT.
