those of you who wish to continue this discussion; please do so on
your own list or any other method that involves just the lot of you.
my guess is that the conversation/debate wouldn't last five minutes
as the 'audience' to bear witness to internet thuggery would be
absent.
95% of what is spoken in this world is mindless drivel. i know where
to find it if i need it; i'd prefer it to not come to me on a photography
mailing list.

DEAR LIST MINDERS,
Am I missing something? I thought this persistent discussion of
politics, sexual and otherwise, was off topic and something was
going to be
done about it. If it IS NOT off topic, please let me know so I can put
in
my two cents.
BOB
