Hold on. Lionel is working on setting up a modified version of RPD. I have hopes that'll be sucessful, and I wish Chas' group well. May sign up myself, as I use Canon equip, mostly, but I like the give and take, the disputes about stuff related to photography, and a broader guage than just one manufacturer. I enjoy a good Troll from time to time, but what this group has experienced goes way beyond trolling, and for all but seasoned usenetters, a pretty unworkable patchwork of noise among a few strong signals. -- John McWilliams |
