Don't need none of that junk on THIS list.....>WE'RE< BETTER THAN THAT.....my god, think of the children who have to live in a house contaminated with the kind of obscenity that spews forth here.... There HAVE to be limits on behavior, by God....otherwise, there'd be ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE on OUR group, posting whatever they think about.....even at night, with the drapes pulled. For heaven's sake.... Without some kind of control, there'll be links to nude pictures, pictures with BLOOD in them, my god, even NIKON pictures....it'll degenerate into the kinda crap they teach in them schools nowdays... politics and evolution and things like that.....hell, even trailer houses have phone lines now, and WALMART sells modems....now just what kinda junk is THAT gonna let in? We need to get some posts about lens quality...about caps, and UV filters....maybe some comparisons between the Tri-elmar and the 50 Summar....maybe we could attract some people who travel 'round the world, anytime they want to....and shoot NICE things, people who have the common decency to carry a PROPER lens cleaning kit (underwear, UGH)....and those Italians, something should be done about them, too..... Membership. Dues. Now that'll straighten this list up.... coupla grand a year....less than the club, less than a few cruises....nobody who REALLY uses Leicas could POSSIBLY have a problem with that.... I, too, don't want to spend MY valuable time sorting through all this crap every day.....even though most of us LUG members don't really have to WORK, it takes up time I could spend travelling.....shooting REAL pictures on print film, that I'd be PROUD to show the old women at the club. AS IT SHOULD BE>>>> I'll volunteer my time to sort it out....to get rid of that drivel that just doesn't have a place here.....If you don't think it'll work, look at the Collins Radio Reflector!!! NOW THAT guy has CONTROL of HIS list.....he goes through EVERY post, 24+ hours a day....if they're not up to par, they go away. FOR GOOD....Yessir, IT BETTER be on topic, and not offensive to him...or you're OUT!!! --- I think I'm PERFECTLY suited to serving in the same kind of position here on the LUG..... Oh, BTW, on the Collins list, they also DON'T LET YOU BITCH ABOUT THE LIST!!! Walt On Tue, 2 Mar 1999, Joe Stephenson wrote: > Joseph, > How would you know?
