My wife complained that the photo-3d list swamped everything else we got,
including personal notes from friends and relatives, and her native plant
mail. In the interest of family peace, I now filter all of the stereo lists
into separate folders. Very functional.

I had also considered filtering out everything on why the Realist is the
best possible stereo camera, but couldn't figure out how to do it, except
by using George T. as the marker, and thus filtering a little more than
I wished. Any advice would be welcome.

Incidentally, I think I know what the appeal of the Realist is, after 
borrowing one from the Oakland Camera Club. It is the same as what my 
little sister saw in crossword puzzles and cryptograms back when she
was nine or so. I found the Realist a little difficult to puzzle out,
but then I never cared for puzzles or cryptograms.
