A list subscriber, a bargain hunter, a skilled photographer and a source
of much wisdom. She's said to be a nice person too by those who have met
her (I haven't - yet).
Ohh, and she's the list-member, who was verbified.....you can say, that
you fanged a nice piece of gear, if you got it at a sufficiently low
price.

For all we know yes ;)

Let's see...we're talking Doris Fang here, which narrows it down to either
of the following: preparing to go to a garage sale, at a garage sale
picking up a mint OM3Ti with a mint 35-80 for about $10, in transition
between two garage sales - or out shooting something interresting with the
aforementioned OM3Ti....

We probably should have Doris Fang and 'fanged' listed in a list faq
somewhere, along with Tom Scales, who's famous for having one of the
biggest and fastest growing collections of OM gear.
Check the list archives...much wisdom from Doris, Tom (and John, Clint,
Gary, Giles, Jeremy, Skip, Bruce, Garth, ..., ..., ... and all the
others) is recorded there ;)
