It's so that you are forced to wade through all of the email messages to 
uncover misc. ramblings by lex and others about jet engines, guns, SUV's, 
etc., only in the desparate hope of finding a nugget about OM cameras and 
photography, then finally getting to the end of the digest and finding a gem 
of wisdom from John H. It's all part of walking the OM path to greater 
photographic enightenment, like when you are walking down the street with 
your trusty OM-1 and 40/2 set to hyperfocal, and you've been walking for a 
couple of hours with nothing worthy of recording on your K64, just the usual 
street muggings and holdups, a few gang warfare events, and the occasional 
pit bull attack, when you turn the corner and see the most amazing collection 
of "colorful" street mimes and jugglers, and the light is just perfect, a 
soft glow from the late afternoon sun, and you burn up the entire roll of 
film in 2 minutes, the sweat dripping off your brow, the thrill of capturing 
the perfect moment making your heart race, knowing that you've recorded a 
once in a lifetime event, and you go home satisfied, relaxed. That's what 
reading the digests mean for me.....<g>
