Three things. I realized yet again I don't really understand any of this.
Fascination, but without deep understanding. This applies to many of the
topics discussed on this list.
Second, I lament an inability to add intelligently to the discussions.
But third: this is a great example of why I've lurked on this list for,
maybe (I don't recall precisely when I started), 20 years or more. While I
am certainly an Oly fanatic and hence do get a lot of great information on
topic, it's the non-Oly stuff, non-photographic stuff, that's so valuable
to me. Horizon expanding, and it often provides great references to be
pursued. Just wonderful.
Thanks, all. Especially in these times, thanks for the low-keyed tone of
these conversations.
