Keep in mind that only a small minority of LUG members engage in personal name-calling etc. The rest either lurk or chime in only when they have something to say about Leica or photography. By taking your traffic off the LUG, you are depriving this silent majority of a source of knowledge. In addition, you are depriving the world of potential R converts. I can use myself as an example. I was an M-only user until I started seeing messages on the LUG about some R lenses that I became interested in, then saw some LUGgers' web pages with images taken with those lenses, and then I knew I had to have a Leicaflex and the 400mm Telyt. If Doug Herr et al. were posting their messages somewhere else I would not have seen them and would most likely not be a Leica SLR user now.
