Hi Volkhart! I have made a decision to bow out of responding, or posting, to the
digest/list. It is too frustrating to cope with having to justify every
response. As far as the inventory, you know we have like 15 pages of just OLY
items. It would be too difficult to keep this and the website
(www.olympusguy.com) updated.

My apologies to anyone we have offended. Enjoy your OLY year! Paul.
