I agree. I delete most of the posts aside from the few at the beginning
of a thread to see what all the hubbub is about. These are precious
electrons being wasted, but far worse than that is the time being
wasted at the computer. Sure, I'm culpable too, but I've been shooting
my ass off for school and don't have much time to post actual images. 

Like Ted says, we all really should off our duffs before film isn't
available anymore and go expose some. Or make images with our digitals.
Or pinhole cameras and conte crayons. Or whatever.

So good to hear from you, sir!
