This wasn't really an event but some silly outbursts which were restricted to one identifiable thread in reality (sorry Ann). > Since then two major former players have taken themselves willingly out of > it.

Let me repeat that, the people with sense. I'm pretty pleased that Doug has set up the list as he has and yes the demeanor of the list does rely upon self moderation to a degree but it also relies upon tolerance and self control, neither of which necessarily require any party to withdraw from any particular threads or the list or refrain from communicating with any particular lister. The way that each lister manages their interaction with the list and its subscribers is up to them. Markus seemed a little perturbed that he had not received feedback on his photograph but there's no reason to blame that on another thread nor Pauls issue regarding missing personal communications. All sort of people have left the list over the many years I've been here citing all sorts of issues, my favorite parting comments being "if xx doesn't stop yy then I'll unsubscribe". If they like the place they will come back. > I am now feeling tired of it again. I think I will give the list a miss for > few days or week or so. > > A lot has happened while you were gone. Just looking back through my logs I can see that I was unsubbed from 18th Feb until 7th April so I was unsubbed from longer than I thought (my how time flies). I did ask did anything happen whilst I was away, any dates I can trawl through, I need to catch up ;-) -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
