I had just come on when he got off i think about 3 years ago. But when it turned out that he just came back to the lug to talk politics and that was his only interest i was little disappointed. He really wasn't here to talk Leicas or even cameras at all. Well there are plenty of political lists who really needs to talk politics with a bunch of camera bugs? :) I have plenty of acquaintances and even friends (in the real world) that i have no desire at ALL to talk politics with I KNOW I have little in common politically with. As with the LHSA I meets these guys and I assume they are right wingers having built there mega corparations by thier bootstraps but inadvertently i'd find I'd been mistaken. Sometimes. But by pure accident. No one was sitting around at "Ally's" in Boston talking politics thank god. We talked Sociology! As in will the inkjets take over!. But nothing close to party politics. There often is little common ground. Boy we had a good time! Mark Rabiner Portland, Oregon USA http://www.rabiner.cncoffice.com/
