I created it on April 7, 1992, with the following as its first message To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: welcome to our little mailing list Date: Tue, 07 Apr 92 10:31:06 PDT From: Brian Reid <reid@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> There are now 17 people on the leica-users mailing list. That's enough that I can probably ask the question that prompted me to form the list in the first place: Has anybody worked out a good system for how to load modern film into an old Leica? I find that I can't do it unless I carefully take a pair of scissors and cut a longer tail on the film, but I often do this wrong and even when I do it right it takes several minutes. Is there a trick? Is there a tool that cuts the long film tail (e.g. something sold for use with a bulk film loader?). When you reply, please try to use whatever "reply" command you have that sends replies to the original "To:" field as well as to me. That way everybody sees the answer. The first few people to participate are indicated below. 04/07/92 Dyer Lytle CCS Re: welcome to our little mailing list 04/07/92 Kevin Burke Re: welcome to our little mailing list 04/07/92 Brian Reid Leica repair recommendation 04/07/92 Mark Eastman Re: Leica Service & lens surgery 04/07/92 ktw@hlwpk.att.com Re: welcome to our little mailing list 04/08/92 Mark Eastman Summicronicles 04/08/92 paul@research.att Re: Summicronicles 04/09/92 schooler@apollo.h 04/09/92 Jeffrey Frey lenses 04/09/92 Dick Palace lenses 04/10/92 Larry Bullis Excuse me, folks, but ... 04/10/92 Ihtisham Kabir Re: misc. optics 04/13/92 Jack Campin what has a 43mm filter thread? 04/24/92 Steve Fellini question about 35mm finder 05/04/92 Jay Pulli Experience with Leica dealers 05/12/92 Michael R.

His is message 64 in the archive, which means that there had been 63 messages total in the 2 months that the list has existed, an average of 1 message per day. I guess "overload" is a relative term.
