I agree.  Off-topic diversions on this list are pretty rare, and not a 
problem at all.  I wouldn't worry about such things unless a thread 
starts to dominate the mailings in a given day.

I find the tiff format takes up MB in size rather than jpg which 
compacts down to mere KB.  Could scanner software affect this?  I don't 
know.

Regarding Mr. Rosa, I am very curious as to why Gemstone has been 
running so many issues with either NO Rosa or reprints of previously 
available English stories.  I thought there was a glut of new 
unpublished (in English) stories just waiting for the light of day.
