Although Cliff probably would agree with you, I think a moderator 
that is pretty laid back but cuts things off when stuff goes too far afield
or somewhat-far-afield for too long is appropriate for a good signal-to-
noise ratio list.

This is one of the major advantages of a list over a newsgroup.

I'm just glad I'm not the one to have to judge exactly when the
fuzzy line has been crossed.  Tough job.

P.S. - To get back to a "real" subject, in trying my first
       test roll in my new Viewmaster Personal camera, how
       does one do that?  Shortest roll of film in the store
       is for 48 stereo shots!  I could make up a really
       short roll of my copy-film, but it's ISO is something
       like "8" (and probably would need a filter to make it
       somewhat daylight balanced).  Anybody make slide film
       with "6" images or the like?  Maybe if I try 48 combinations
       of f/stop and shutter speed (no focus to vary) all with
       the same target image?  How do I "kill" 48 images without
       getting too attached and wanting them to come out right (it
       *is* a test roll, which may fail)?  Or maybe just take ten
       pictures of a test target and have the other 38 blank? :-(
