I am asked Where is Freestyle. I will tell, but first the lecture ....
whoever is reading this list, let alone posting to it, without having
read the archive AND gotten the FAQ is doing neither the list, nor
themselves a favor.

The most knowledgeable people (not to mention the best spellers) will be
turned off by continual repeats of basic questions, and their loss would
be a terrific loss to the list. At the same time, these persons (and you
know who you are) are missing a good deal of fun and information. Just
look at May 2, 1994, for instance -- as delightful a conversation between
thoughtful innovative photographers as I've read or heard.

And many many others, with descriptions of wonderful contrivances by
masters of wonderful almost-lost processes. Reading and formatting the
archive was a most laborious project. But it made me a better -- and smarter
-- person. And you too. Trust me.

I guess I should add that last year a comment of this order started a
flame war. Well, I'm not exactly flame-proof, but I do live in NYC,
where you can get flamed just crossing the street.... Anyway:
