[filmscanners] Re: appropriateness of " Density vs Dynamicrange"thread (pro)

["Ted Bayer" <tedbayer@harbornet.com>]

Interesting comments, Julian.

When I check my e-mail for messages, I just ignore the ones I don't wish
to read.  As I read my mail, I delete it or save it to a folder I have
for that purpose.  Then, I just highlight the ones that I didn't wish to
read and delete them all with one click of the delete key.  No work at
all.
