[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]All, As of last weekend there were 229 LUGNUTS registered with with our friendly majordomo server, resident somewhere in California I think, if that matters. Over the last year this esteemed group has generated 5+ megs of text threads on a variety of topics, most acutely related to the use and lore of photographic equipment hailing from Germany (or a subsidiary). Daily LUGNUT message traffic is up an average of about, oh, 25 percent, which means we're writing more, not less, which, depending on your view of the quality of the discussions, could also be viewed as positive. Here's the point: Does anyone know if anyone in Solms is listening, or cares? You'd think that these threads would be a marketing maven's dream, but if a tree falls in the woods... I'd hate to think that Leica/Solms is missing some of the most insighful commentary ever written about their products and services. Or that all this rampant wisdom educates only us (for which I'm very grateful). A bunch of zealots can change the world if only someone bothers to listen. Cheers, David W. Almy Annapolis, Maryland
