Yes and no! This list goes into "remission" for couple of days from time to
time. Usually hapens around holidays, I guess we can consider the Olympics
as holidays!!. Having said that, this list is quite prolific, a quick look
to the archives would confirm that.

I'd guess that camera has a focal length of between 35mm and 50mm, a better
needle to use to make the pinhole would be a #15. You already managed to
remove the lens, install a pinhole and make images with it, you already
modified, successfully, your CVS, what you need to do is to make a new
pinhole with a #15 needle and give it another try. BTW, I'd use a f/stop of
f/180 if the pinhole is made with the #15 needle.
