Personally, I think it would be better to be in a position where we are
not subject to potential censorship by the equipment manufacturer.  OK,
it may never happen, but it still remains a potentially compromising
situation.  If we are to show LUG photos, then the LUG and only the LUG
should have the power to decide what gets shown and what does not.
Leica Camera AG can always link to the site, should they wish to
exploit the exposure.

In any case, I'm sure that we have enough inventiveness and resource-
fulness within the LUG community to handle it ourselves.
