I never knew if Brian somehow cracked down on it or what but I was happy when it seemed to trickle down to nothing. It seemed then People could not resist the urge to hit the send button more than once. But we were dumb them. The internet had just been invented. I imagine in time they realized what a bad vibe that was/is. That they were just shooting themselves in the foot. Making themselves look annoying. By the way all the LUG people are in my Entourage database as lug people. There are 372 of them. When someone comes on the list not in that database it does not come up blue like a real LUG person would but brown as in spam person previously unknown.. Normally I'd click it to enter them in but if they're just selling something they're not really on the LUG anyway so sometimes I wont. Unless the name seemed familiar from the old days. I think the lug is a unique list with most the people using their real names on it. A family feel to it. But it does NOT feel like family to me for people to put stuff up for sale here for a great deal money more than they'd ever sell the stuff for otherwise. And I see that happening more. Stupidly high prices. This is not the rip off list. What are friends for? To charge double? I think not. -------------------- Mark William Rabiner Photography mark at rabinergroup.com > From: Philip Forrest <photo.forrest at earthlink.net> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Fri, 6 Aug 2010 14:48:13 -0400 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] No prices on for sales > > How about multiple postings?
