Hope you don't imagine that you are the only one with a life beyond the
alt-photo-process list. If you don't have the time for the chatter send
a message to unsubscribe.
No offense taken.

Relax. These things run their course.
It doesn't have much to do with photography but it has a lot to do with
a sense of community that develops on the list. The list has been
through some pretty bad times recently and I don't recall you being
active at that time. Had you been, I am sure you would welcome a little
levity after all the mean nasty ugly shit that was going on here. I
think that those who can remember where we were last June, would not
have bet on the list's survival. We are now seeing the return of some
people who dropped out due and I think we all welcome them back
I accept that your are busy and so are we. I have been active on this
list for over 3 years and I have posted several hundred messages over
the past 6 months to a year and I know I have averaged more than 1 a
day for the 3 years.. I believe they have been posts of significant
information and not just "me too" messages or requests for information.
They have been answers (or attempts at asnwers) to serious questions
such as the recent Hans and Chia problems with gum, or the testing of
ink jet printers for making digital negative, or information on
building of light banks, the list goes on. The others involved in this
iddle chatter have also spent considerable energy on "serious" topics,
and I might add, taking time out of their busy days.
If the list quits becoming fun, I'm outta here. I think I have earned a
few messages of pointless chatter.
Lighten up!
Please take no offence.
