Me too.  If I were slow in moving the camera on, then flame away.  I
must admit to being a bit slow with a scanner (due to being a bit cr*p
with it, and having not enough patience) - but I would make the effort
and expect to be flamed if not.

Count me in.  I'm personally very sad to see the odyssey end so quickly.
Andrew has put in a lot of work, and I understand his frustration, but
to let that work go to waste seems such a shame.  And I was looking
forward to my turn with the camera.

Sadly,

Jon

If that were to happen, I would like to be added to the list.  I would
happily agree to the aforementioned terms.
