I heartily agree. I have been hanging around here for quite a while now.
We seem to have a pattern, where a few threads stray (way) off the subject
or a small flame war. Almost inevitably someone suggests a moderator, which
is predictably rejected. Shortly everything returns to normal.

The delete key is handy at times, but I find many of the diversions
entertaining. As long as the posts on Iron Maiden, or whatever, have
a recognizable subject I don't mind.

Now, let's go out and use these fine Oly cameras for something useful.

Regards
Lars
