I've had moments where I don't want to be openly associated with the LUG because of the conversation. (you've heard the saying, show me your friends and I'll tell you who you are) But I think we've all been there at some point, depending on the conversation. If my wife or my mom were to read a couple of these digests, They would ask me what and the world am I getting these LUG digests for. Now before you jump all over me.... remember, I've been on the Lug for over 3 years and I've talked with a lot of Luggers over e-mail and look forward to meeting more in-person at some point .... Either way, over time one gets to know people and a bit about their character and their mood swings...... But in the short run it is easy to misjudge... That is to say that first impressions to new Lug members can be bad ones or good ones, right or wrong depending on when they subscribe. But... if you think about a lot of the off-topics that get discussed on this list.... I don't see many that are attractive to women... But the truth is probably that the percentage of women Leica owners is pretty minuscule to begin with.
