I am not able to judge, and wouldn't try, the value of my posts, if any,
for any single individual. For some, they may be useful, for others a
crashing waste of time. In any case, I have no interest in spending
several hours a day on newsgroups so that I can edit every post I make
in order to squeeze every non-essential byte from the post.

heavily edited for brevity

I'll close with this. Hours? At your advanced age, time should
seem to be advancing much more rapidly, not more slowly!

And you assume this is the only newsgroup to which I post?
It is one of those I post LEAST to.


Hello, Ron:

According to Google Groups,, you're the all-time top poster, here
in news:rec.photo.digital. It's also the group, in which you've
contributed your most articles:

rec.photo.digital - 15,000+ (starting in January, 2002)

All newsgroups - 35,500+ (starting in December, 2001)

You've certainly been pretty damned prolific, Ron! g


Cordially,
John Turco
