Archived posting to the Leica Users Group, 1998/01/31

I don't think that I am alone in deleting all mail in which the subject is: "Leica-Users List Digest xxxxxxx" unless it was from someone that from past reading I respect. I will open the compilation with my own figure of approx. 66% deleted with out being read; After all no one wants to spend all day reading mail. To the LUGgers that still remember my last compilation, with the help of Patrick & Simon, of the 506 members from 39 countries - it might be significant to note that the subscribers roster has dropped by almost 20%. IMHO due to the great influx of non - pertinent mail.

Most of the regular LUG members will ignore the heading as shown above as they haven't a clue as to what is being discussed. I disagree with you and have the weight of optical authority on my side, but, so be it. The issue isn't worth pursuing. Best, Marc >>
