(1) As someone else mentioned, Rob asked very nicely if he could take part
	in our list.  While there hasn't been much lately other than "here
	is my latest picture" he did stimulate some interesting discussions
	about colour accuracy and thanked us for giving him a few pointers.
(2) Before joining the list Rob emailed me personally and asked if he could
	take part as he thought that there were things that he could learn
	from this list.  I told him that as far as I was concerned for the
	most part post-acquisition processing for both methods are very 
	similar and IMO discussions of this nature was on topic despite
	the data being acquired by silicon rather than emulsion.
(3) Personally, rather than seeing less "this is my latest image" posts,
	I would rather more "this is the problems I had getting this image
	and these are the solutions I came up with" type posts.
