Digital BW, The Print

Eric:

The fact is this topic and several others which seem to be on 1-3 month 
cycles are discussed adnausium each time. It usually starts with "I'm new to 
the list" etc, etc, then it is the same information by the same people, 
taking the same sides of the discussion over and over again. Anyone new to 
the list can usually find what they are looking for by
searching old postings. I realize the searching utility in Yahoo is not the 
greatest, but it does work if one is willing to do the research.

There used to be time, that before you would write a letter to an author, 
you would actually have to read the book. Don't get me wrong, I am delighted 
and marvel at the world of information that is available to me today, and 
what I have learned from this list has been invaluable. That said, I get a 
little tired of people unwilling to put in the time before they start asking 
questions.

By the way don't take things so personally.
