  I joined this this because I use sane with a Fujitsu C600 and learned that I
  *liked* the product. I am by no means an "expert" with regards to SANE...
  I use this to list provide me with information... Plus I am currently writing a
  back-end for the Fujitsu ScanPartner10 and ScanPartner10C (I might add it's
  going pretty good too. I am about 1/2 way there...). Usually, I just sit
  back and read the posts on this list... Gleaning info that useful and etc...
  However, I have a question: Is it normal policy on this list to curse users
  who want to use SANE and attempt to embarrass them? I believe this hurts the
  product and the reputation of those who work on it. Could someone in authority
  on this list please clarify this issue.

  Best
