                FYI - the PhotoForum list has 324
                    individuals who receive every message as posted, 151
                    who receive daily digests and 49 who do not receive
                    postings. The total is 524.

                    I should like to reiterate an item that was
                      mentioned by a list member not too long ago and it
                      has to do with treating other members with
                      consideration and respect. 

                    The objective is be an open forum for the
                        free exchange and sharing of information for the
                        benefit of its members. The list is not
                        moderated and it depends on the good will and
                        civility of its members to maintain a friendly
                        and constructive atmosphere.       

                    Please
                          consider the content of your postings to
                          reflect a considerate, caring and helpful
                          attitude. There is no point in belittling any
                          of the members of the list. There are a wide
                          variety of expertise and backgrounds on the
                          list. Before posting you might direct your
                          posting to yourself and see how it reads when
                          addressed to you. For example: If  "You don't
                          know what you are talking about" might be what
                          you are about to post think about it for a
                          second. How you like such a statement to be
                          directed at you. Would you like to be told
                          that? I admit this is a far out example but
                          sensitivities vary among people and there is
                          no point in being dismissive of other members.

                    Take this
                          as only one person's opinion. It is my
                          opinion. It might be "elementary" but it makes
                          for a more pleasant and constructive and
                          cooperative atmosphere here and in other
                          situations as well.

                    Thank you,
