Curt, I dunno if you've signed off already or not, but I'd like to throw in
my two cents. Yes, there is something to the description of the list you
use; however, you can become one of the "old friends who happens to use an
Olympus" merely by hanging around. I've been a member for a little over a
year, and I was welcomed with open arms and was immediately treated as if
I'd been here forever. I've had several extremely gracious transactions, too
-- including two cases where list members sent items to me before receiving
payment. The OT exchanges are a huge part of why I grab my coffee and read
this list first every morning. There's nothing wrong with a by-the-book,
sterile, strictly info-based list; I subscribe to many of those, as well.
But we like the list the way it is: full of personality AND information. And
some truly inspired photography.

Like overhearing a conversation at a neighboring table, it may well seem to
be pointless "rubbish" one must wade through. It quickly becomes good banter
among friends, though. Hey, if that's not your deal, then by all means bail.
God knows we all understand the limits of time. But don't kick us in the
butt on the way out the door.

P.S. Please note the insane top AND bottom posting method I've employed
here. I did this just to unhinge everyone. Cheers.
