One of the nice things about this list is that the scope of scanning is
allowed to include monitors, memory, CPUs, imaging software, artists,
photographers, and film, but there have been days in the past few weeks
where the peripheral subjects donated over 140 messages a day to my in box,
and few if any dealt directly with scanning. Ed left at about that time, and
may have felt the same frustration at the volume of off-topic messages as I
did. It is not so much that off topic messages exist, as the volume of off
topic messages received in one day that frustrated me.
