I'm with Chuck and Khen on this and am surprised by the harshness of
William's comment. Khen's direct association with Maitani-san and
Olympus proper prompted a lot questions and he has patiently responded
to all of them.
"self-bilge"? Please. The folks on this list are typically polite
without being formal and there's a lot of OT discussion. Khen's
contributions have enhanced my understanding of how Olympus operates
and I appreciate the time he puts into them. If someone else doesn't,
they're welcome to change the channel. I delete a lot of posts simply
based subject lines that don't interest me and move on to those that
do.
