Auto mode handles most of this.
Focal point? Do you mean focal length? Set it before you snap.
Is this not a solution?

Keep it on manual all the time and I would think that all would be OK even
though you would be limiting yourself a little.

Well you can with the Canon 20D, but under those conditions, I believe I
would be far more likely to let the camera do it itself. Modern DSLRs
handle that process very quickly. I would say an average of about a half
second. For the more manual operations you can set it manually with out
looking through the viewfinder.

Yes, many. Many many. USENET is a very old medium, going back to the 1980s.
There are many of us that don't use GUI frontends for the purposes of USENET.
I can give you the main reason that I use TIN for my USENET purposes. I log
in from multiple locations and use multiple computers. To maintain
configuration information, as well as have articles properly marked as "read",
I use a server based console application (TIN) that I use in a UNIX shell.

Did I say most? No. But console users of USENET are not a small minority.

Hi Thomas,
Sorry about the subject thing - i didn't know. I will be sure to post
in the body in the future. I should have been more specific too. I
thought everyone would know what I was talking about and it turns out
that no one did.
Here is what I should have said.
I like holding the camera in my lap, down around my hips, or whatever -
some place other than in front of my face - and I like to continuously
make adjustments while the situation changes. Sometimes I will raise
the camera and take a picture but usually the picture never happens so
I just keep adjusting. I find it distracting to have to look down or
to raise the camera and have to use the vew finder for something other
than compostion. Call it quirky but that is how I like to do it.

Thanks for the reply and the tip on how to be a better member,
Ron

Hi Rich,
You always have good advice.
I do not get any periodicals any more so I missed the article you refer
to but if I had been doing this long enough I would be lamenting too.

Thanks,
Ron

Hi Simon,
I do the same thing you mention with the ISO button but I would rather
have an x position slider for ISO so I could be sure.

Thanks,
Ron

Hi Jim,
Braille has different connotations for me but you are the closest to
taking my point.

Thanks,

Hi Neil,
Thanks for the reply. I have strong opinions about how each parameter
should be set and I do not welcome comments from the peanut section. I
consider the non manual modes the peanut section.

Thanks,
Ron
