I respectfully disagree. I read a number of photo related mailing lists. I am
seriously
thinking about abandoning them all because of timewasting messages like the
original.
I am totally fed up with postings from people who are too idle to do basic
research and
post messages asking other people to do their work for them.

"Lets do all try to help one another." This applies just as much to posters
of original
messages as responders. People who ask for 800 numbers because they can't be
bothered
or are too stupid to call information, and people who ask for photographic
formulas because
they can't face getting in the car and driving to the library deserve to be
flamed.
