I belong to a music list as well, and that is how it's run. It isn't a hassle
at all, well to me it's not. There is no spam, and there are very few fights. I
think it would be a good idea to go that route, so this list doesn't lose the
great photography minds that gather here. Especially since I just joined over
the weekend and have so much to learn! I just got my camera and have no idea how
to use it. anyway I'm rambling...
