Sorry to hear that the volume of list mail is burying you. Yes, keeping
up gets to be daunting at times. However, I disagree that "much of it"
isn't about OM equipment. There's been a pretty lively discussion about
the 35/2, 85/2 and 100/2 zuiko lenses, lots of messages about batteries
(which is best) and battery drain (particularly with the OM-2S(p) and OM-
4), other messages 'bout brighter screens (the 2-* and Beattie screens),
etc.
Yeah, there's also been a bit 'bout snakes, Monty Python, comfortable
bras, and other off-topic stuff. But, IMHO, that's what makes this list
SO interesting.... it's not *just* 'bout the equipment all the time! That,
to me, would get to be rather dry, redundant, and boooooring. As well
as the *exceptional* information about our favorite gear, it's the
wondering and anticipation 'bout what wierd and wonderful little off-topic
wandering is gonna occur next that keeps me wanting to check back.
Just my opinion, of course! You're opinion is *just* as valid (and maybe
closer to those of the majority).
Regards,
Chris
P.S. I take *lots* of pictures with my equipment.... not sure where I
find the time, between work, reading list mail, keeping an eye on *-Bay,
and (GASP!) actually having a life.... just wish some of them would turn
out once in awhile! :-)))
