Hi Alex,

I will have to say it's still mostly OT, but then again, we are talking a 
50-75 year old camera systems. So not too many topics have yet to be 
explored. As for Flame Wars, Brian quietly throttles them down when they 
erupt, so watch out when he goes on vacation :-) Besides, I notice that it 
is mainly bad blood between a few people. I'm sure if XXX says they like 
fresh air, YYY would say that's a frigging load of bull and it goes from 
there. Delete key works really well until Papa Brian quietly throws away 
the posts...

I am still on because one out of the 100 posts, there would be really 
really really good info, and then of course the picture links. We 
definitely have some good photog amongst this crowd.
