Hi Mike,

I've always thought it was similar for Solms. They may scan through it
quickly to see what is being bitched about today, but I don't imagine they
really get twitchie assed about much that they see on the LUG.

One would have to consider the 800-1000 LUGGERS, of which most are silent
lurkers, really don't swing much weight in the overall Solms concerns. Yes,
on occasion the LUG may give them a few crumbs to consider, but I don't
think Herr Cohn and the executive board have many slepless nights due to
the LUG.

My heavans if they did, I'd really be worried about Leica survival.
