[Leica] observation about LUG message traffic

[Tina Manley]

I get over 600 e-mails a day, every day!!  Most are easily edited and
deleted.  Some require answers.  Some take all day to respond to a request.

The only time that is a problem is when I'm away from the computer for
several days at a time.
