Hi Bob,

We have a number of things in common! ;)  I too like chocolate and Vanilla
ice cream. Leicas for what they do for me in my work and not what they look
like, and the delet button is my salvation some days. :)  And I don't doubt
for one second I've been well deleted on many occaision.

But the LUG in whatever context is meant by "advancing photography" does
that simply by folks responding to questions or posting them, whether that
is "screws in a IIIf or what kind of developer or film to use"

No not all the postings are interesting (I can attest to that I post some
of them!) and we both appreciate the delete button is only a click away. I
have yet to find a finer bunch of folks to speak with and learn from
anywhere on the electronic networks.

At least here the conversation is civil and not the constant bad mouthing
flaming know it all's in some other groups. Many of them with nothing more
than the manners of swine.

So it is my very humble opinion that this is the Leica place of the world,
whether that is to learn more "how to stuff with a Leica" or "how many
screws does it take to hold an R8 together?"
