	Q: Who cares on the Leica Users Group?

	I would be surprised if either of you sit on the boards
	of the companies involved. (Charlie, I can't even find
	you in the Cornell directory!) So all this discussion,
	expended energy and name calling is based on hearsay,
	marketing literature and the like.

	I therefore make ... A Modest Proposal:

			LUG New Year's Resoluton #1
			^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
	All further chit-chat about all Zeiss/Yashica/Contax/Porsche
	business relationships ends on this Leica-Users-Group at
	mid-night December 31st.

	Zu allen: Ein guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr!

	-- Wolfgang
