Sorry but you have it backwards. YOU are not contributing ANTHING valuable to anyone and I am so your posts are just bandwidth wasting personal spam. Even if you do not agree with me on everything in this thread at least it's a disscussion of the issues with Pentax at this time and for you to say my posts to be a total waste of time is about as ridiculous as your "post count reports". If your not interested in the thread ignore it and if your ignoring it you have no business classifying it as a total waste of time.. So I suggest you make up your mind, participate or shut up about its value. Posting post counts and declaring it a waste of time isnt adding anything of ANY value to ANYONE in the discussion.

Since you're not interested in reading my messages any further, I suppose this apology is in vain. I'm simply reporting the facts. Why I'm reporting them is that I find such behavior to be an incredible waste of time and feel people on the mailing list should be aware of how much this subscriber's behavior is costing in terms of message volume. It's not a waste of time for me. It takes me virtually no time to generate such reports as I developed many automated tools for analyzing large quantities of posts (the peak volume I used to see was around 4000 posts per day) from newsgroups/mailing lists/bulletin boards/etc that I used in the position I spoke of earlier. It's very easy for me to generate and track mailing list traffic. I turned on my tracking tools and find JCO's activity is classed as a "list abuser" by the coda of every list I've ever participated in, and I've been participating in mailing lists since 1984.
