Well, you've done it again, Erwin and with the eloquence of a
native English speaker. I wish that I was fluent in Dutch so that I
could appreciate your writings in your mother tongue. Must be
awesome!
To some extent, we're suffering here from the greater numbers
now subscribing and posting. As mailing lists go, this one is pretty
large and you know how it is when Mr. Everyman enters the
picture. ;-)
Talk to the folk who were early in the newsgroups. There was an
appreciation and kinship in the newsgroups then that is lacking
today. BTW, you'll never hear this old curmudgeon refering to the
LUG. That connotes a newsgroup, and, bad as this can be at
times, it's still a 'cut above' most newsgroups. It is, ladies and
gentlemen, the LUL! (That's Leica Users List for those of you in Rio
Linda) I fear that I'm in a tiny minority on this, however, as
'Lugnuts' has so many permutations, most of which are apt.

If at first you don't succeed...
destroy all evidence of having tried!
