…But I'm an editor with a Toyota — how then how will I ask how to fix the carburetor problem on my Camry?
I'm also an editor who likes music — how will I bemoan the fact that Fleetwood Mac was a much better band with Peter Green, before Stevie Nicks joined the band?
Oh...
Oh, wait — you mean this is an editors' e-mail list, and subjects should be at least vaguely about our profession, related fields or issues regarding our professional community?
And "off topic" means how do I transfer my old 16mm films to tape, and not how Sriracha has all the cache, but Cholula is actually a better tasting hot sauce — ?
Jeez, what a concept...
Bravo!!!

IMHO, I think this thread's 'banter' was a helpful reminder of why this list should remain essentially a giant editors' cocktail party, where we refrain from discussions of politics, religion, and the existence of the Loch Ness Monster; and, instead, stick to supporting our list-mates with scintillating tips about codecs, error messages, and right-click menu options; and where "OT" means topics like "Who knows of a good GFX artist, shooter, hot dog stand, etc. in the city of XYZ?"
FYI, over the past several months (since mid-November), I've also been punched in the gut, flipped upside down, slammed to the canvas, and kicked in the head a few times. Let's use this bandwidth for staying positive and supportive. I know I sure could use plenty of both!
Take care L2-ers!
Stay safe. Stay inside. Stay masked. Stay healthy.
Smiling and waving goodbye to you from 8 feet (2.74 meters) away,
Let's not be melodramatic. Nothing has 'killed this list.' These are extraordinary times and people are being affected in desperate ways. Let's cut ourselves some slack here and be kind and compassionate.
Again, as a community of not just automaton editors, but of living human beings, we should be grateful and welcoming of expressions of empathy, concern, and solidarity. Marching along only uttering words related to non-linear editing in times like this seems, to my sensibilities, to be cold and sadly isolating.
As well, many of us are freelancers and are facing especially challenging months.
Stay safe, everyone.
