I do hope you reconsider.  
Email is the great purveyor of bluntness.  You can't hear a vocal
inflection or see a grin or other types of body language through a
monitor.  I've had more than my share of meltdowns with otherwise
rational folks that I considered friends over email messages.  

Again, hoping you reconsider.  
And, do enjoy your road trip.  At least pop back in to tell us about
that.

Jim

Perhaps I am part of the problem, but I'm not feeling the camaraderie
and fun from this list that I have for the 9 years that I have been a
member. Since I no longer use OM, I stayed around because I enjoyed the
people and the lighthearted tangents that the threads often took.

Unfortunately, I'm not feeling the love anymore :)

The latest personal attack was just a symptom.  If we can't have a
discussion about the pros and cons of the platform on which we work
without being called a troll, what's the point?  Should I have posted my
comments? Well, I guess not, but my comments were never intended as a
personal attack.

I still have gotten so many excellent pointers to improve my photography
that it has been worth it to read about cameras I don't own.

Most importantly, this list has been a family to me through the good
times and the bad that my family and I have experienced.  I know people
here only from the list but there is a core that I know if I showed up
at their doorstep, they would invite me in and ask me to dinner.

I have never belonged to a group anything like this one.  I consider you
all, or at least most of you, true friends.  I thank you all for your
support during the tough times.

I'll probably still let the messages go into a folder just so I can see
[OM] when I wake up in the morning, but I probably won't read them like
I used to.

If anyone wants to contact me personally, I use my real email address
here. That alone says something about this list. All my other
memberships go to a spoofed email address.

No point in commenting on this post. I don't mean to start a he said/he
said thread.

Maybe I'll be back.  Maybe not.  It's been great.

Tom
