Then again, maybe Leo Wesson's arm - clothed in white samite - will break the surface of some Texas lake holding up the long lost yearbook, or at least with an explanation of its mysterious disappearance at some time in the near future. As for sending pictures as an attachment, I'm against it. Some of us luggers have a limit on how much bandwidth we can use each month, so the prospect of being swamped with attachments, is very unpalatable. As others have pointed out, Brian has set up an excellent method at looking at posters' images - the Lug Gallery. Thanks Brian! I try to look at every image posted there, but don't necessarily have the time to comment on everything. On Leicas, I still have two, but haven't used them as I haven't got around to setting up my darkroom and enlarger due to being kept busy because of my wife's illness. I do intend to try to get back to them at some stage.
