Hello there,
I am a newbie at this forum which I find interesting reading.
But going thru all the interesting messages which come flooding in, I
wonder wether this forum is all about discussing OLYMPUS-OM- matters or
who brews the strongest coffee.
Harry:
As a newbie, you could be forgiven for thinking this forum is just for
discussing OM-products. It's actually for discussing all kinds of things,
the way you would at a typical bull-session with buddies. SUV's, the
environment, digital imaging, foreign policy, religion, other camera brands
(heresy!), and so forth and so on ad infinitum.
Part of the charm of the List, if you ask me, and we always manage to
"re-centre" (or "re-center" as our American buds would spell it) on Olympus
goodies. I tried some other photography lists in the past (notably
'pure-silver') and found the fascist purity of the discussions both
offputting and sterile.
Mind you, I'm still mystified at all the denizens of this List that
continue to insist on mis-spelling "espresso." Maybe OM owners *aren't*
intellectually superior to all others, after all...
... nahhhhh. Couldn't be. Gotta be an anomaly.
