There are some submissions, but it ought to have more. Information about the yearbook is here: http://leica-users.org/yearbook/ Instructions for submitting pictures are here: http://leica-users.org/yearbook/submitting.html Here is the summary (quoted from those instructions for submitting): ------------------------------------------------- Submissions are due by email to yearbook at leica-users.org by 10 February 2023. Anyone who believes that they have taken at least 100 photographs with Leica gear (and thus understands what "Leica photography" means) can participate. You need not be a current or former member of the LUG. What to submit (short version): Tell us who you are and where you live. You wouldn't believe how much time we have spent in past years trying to figure out where photographers live, when they don't tell us. We don't like code names or #handles. If you don't tell us where you live and I can't figure it out quickly, I will write that you live in Lower Slobbovia or something like that. Or Phobos and Deimos. Attach 2 images that have enough resolution. 3000x3000 is enough. Provide captions for each. We like it when you give technical details. We encourage you to provide 100 words or so of background, local color, or explanation. In past years, not enough people have done this. We really want to know how you made the picture, where it was taken, and so on. Please don't be shy. There will be no judging or refereeing or rejection. We will print the images that you submit if they are of adequate technical quality. Look over recent yearbooks to see what technical quality can be achieved and try to make images that good. The book will be published using the Blurb print-on-demand system, so there is no requirement that you buy a copy of the book. See sections below for image preparation and submission guidelines.

Now why would I want only to view a few? Tina, your photographs never cease to astound and please me. These are (as I expected) beyond awesome.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <0964510f470203831699b5ac56ef67dd@reid.org> Sigh. This is a result of incompetent spam filtering by your ISP. It is a big problem in the world of mailing lists. What happens is that someone sends to the LUG a message that your ISP believes to be spam, and your ISP sends back an automated bounce message saying "we reject this message because it is spam". The LUG software sees that bounce message and counts it. When it gets too many such messages, it does what you saw. I always contact the ISP's support desk when this happens. In general they are ignorant and hostile and are unwilling to address the problem. Google wants the entire world to use gmail, so they sit back and quietly smile when this happens, because they know that people will try gmail in frustration when their regular ISP bungles spam. I'll reactivate your Comporium subscription, but Comporium will probably keep using low-quality spam filters and therefore this will likely happen again.
