I'm sorry this came off as criticism.  I've been burned before by
the impersonal nature of email communication, but I guess I haven't
learned my lesson yet.

My point was merely that since this list is a "one-to-many" form
of communication, a simple unambiguous link can save time for
everybody who reads the message.  A few minutes digging around
is not a big deal for one person, but multiplied by the hundreds
who might be interested, it's a waste.  Unfortunately, I ruined
this attempt at improving communication by being ungracious in my
email.

Thanks for the information (and the link :-)).

(Sigh, Yahoo says "The group DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint is
temporarily unavailable."  All the great data in the archives
is essentially held at the good will of Yahoo.  I maintain
another archive of the mailing list here:

but my history doesn't go back far enough.  Oh, well.)
