In some ways I have to echo Buddy's comments.
A few years ago I decided to buy a new camera. I bought a Canon EOS A2e
and a few lenses. I put my Olys aside and began shooting the EOS stuff.
Then I found this forum and enjoyed it. I enjoyed it so much that I
broke out the OM-1md and the OM-1n and the OM-2 and started using them
again. My interest in Olympus was rekindled.
Lately however, I was wondering if I changed or the OM forum changed. I
still carry an OM with me almost all of the time and still enjoy using
my Oly stuff and my EOS stuff. But I have found myself using the delete
button faster and reading posts less and less. My read to delete
without reading ratio is probably 1:10 now. Threads seem to go on
forever and wander from the original subject. (I have to admit that I
have been part of the OT stuff at times.)
