I use only M Leicas, but like to read about the SMs as well. Surely there isn't that much traffic in SM questions to warrant a separate list? When you consider only on topic Leica related posts (unfortunately, this one doesn't qualify :-( ), one mailing list should suffice. And this includes the LEG as well. Dan C.
