The idea is to filter as many as possible of the contributors to this list. Just put a filter on anybody who disagrees, and anybody who uses non leica equipment, even if only momentary. All the Leica users too (there equipment may be better than yours). Also anybody who agrees with you. (Since they are all crawlers). This way you have the LUG all by your self. No more annoying comments and useless suggestion from others. You are the king of the LUG. A hooray for filtering. Regards Horst Schmidt
