Here's an idea:
ALL OF THIS IS IMHO!!!
Lets split the list into two seperate lists.
LIST 1: OLYMPUS TECHNICAL LIST
Discuss ONLY olympus,
Technical specifications
Usage tricks
Help with olympus problems
Repair techniques
Lense specifications and test results
Things to look out for in buying olympus
People selling OLYMPUS items directly
Features of various bodies.
Basically ONLY olympus technical discussion.
LIST 2: OLYMPUS CHAT LIST
This list could be open to any general chat topic for example
Comparisons between OLYMPUS and other systems
Cannon talk
Nikon Talk
Discussion about the latest AF marvels.
Discussion about common photography subjects not OLY related
Discussion about Grammar Spelling
Advertising of ebay auctions
Wish lists about future OM products
I am getting rather tired of reading hundreds of messages about politics,
beer, nikon, cannon. A seperate technical list would be the best way of
allowing the free flow of Olympus discussion without bogging it down with
general chat. And the provision of a general OLY chat list wout prevent
destroying the list culture that has developed here.
