You are right it is not hard to delete or skip. I skip most messages on lists, and only choose to read the ones with subjects that interest me. There is very little overhead in doing this and I don't really understand why people get so upset about it. The funny thing is that the people who do object seem to have read all the posts! The other surprising thing is that there is an enormous amount of back-channel chat going on about this dynamic range issue, much of it by people who choose not to participate on the list. It does seem that there is a level of interest which is not reflected in the number of participants.
But I too am heartily sick of this particular discussion and it is obvious that the protagonists are never going to get anywhere. You'll be relieved to hear that I'll be leaving the discussion soon anyway. Not because I don't still believe in the practical importance of the issue in scanners (and more to the point the practical importance of what I see as grossly misleading information), but because I don't believe we will ever resolve it given the personalities involved. Also I don't think the growing amount of personal abuse is good for the group or the participants Julian At 12:39 03/09/02, Paul wrote: >I agree.
