I didn't reply to Curt, I hope he found his short time on the list useful...
but it seems to me that his comments about splitting the list is about the
third or fourth time that subject's gone by since I started with this list,
which isn't near as long as some members.

I kind of like the variety, and mostly I do read them all, though often not
in any kind of deep focus, and I learn a lot about stuff I didn't know that
has nothing to do with Olympus... as well as a lot about the rest of the
world and global viewpoints from our Euro, Asian, and Anzac members. I've
even learned a thing or two from our Canuck members <g> (just kidding!)

I don't have many friends that I spend time with in-person whom I expect and
restrict to discussion of only one topic; that would be rude and poor
manners. Discussions in-person wander around, and that's OK. I think its OK
here... though where possible I try to leave the subject 'OT' in place while
adding my little bits of humor (or humour for the UK crowd...)

Olympus list -- it ain't really broke, so why fix it. My finances on the
other hand really are broke...
