P3D Re: List fragmentation

[Michael Watters <mwatters@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't see the addition of another category as any form of fragmentation.  Nobody
says you have to pick only ONE list to be picking up.  If you wanna hear about
digital stereo, subscribe to D3D, if you want film, get P3D.  That's already true of
people who want to talk theory with T3D.   I similarly don't see a problem adding
additional categories for major divisions of interest (collecting and camera hacking 

would be two more obvious divisions) Anybody who wants it all can have it all.  

Those that choose to trim their incoming mail to make it easier to find the notes 

they'd find interesting.  The change would be nearly transparent to someone 

in ACK mode.  For those in digest, it would make for smaller packets more
 finely tuned to their interests.   This isn't any different than when an
 open newsgroup splits.

Anyway, in the event that anyone else is tired of talking about what we 

should be talking about and where we should be doing it...

How about a conversation about viewers for 2x2?    I've usually used 

one of the old 50's viewers and mounted in standard sized 

mounts (mostly 7P).   I'd like to switch to something 

where I'm not forced to chop down the slides
too much though.   What are other 2x2 

shooters using to view?   Seems the viewers
 I've seen tend to be either the ultra cheapo plastic
 things or VERY expensive handtooled jobs.  Anything
 in between?  Has anyone just built their own based on traditional 

viewer designs?   I find myself torn between two forces when thinking 

about this myself.   I really like the idea of a "stereo mount" where
 you can mount the slides together.  Makes flipping through
 slides in a viewer handy.  But twin 2x2 slides are 

appealing in that it's easy to send one off to 

be printed (if you want that) or to project in twin projectors.
