"Yoda!" ;-) Do as I do on days when this "rule stuff and other silly nonsensical tripe" of no relevance to Leica's and photography appear: look quickly... "swear an oath on their mothers ability to bear children, delete and move on!" :-) As a newbie you've already seen some of the garbage that pops on the screen at times, best to pay no heed for they know not what they say, as they are way toooooooo busy talking nonsense and not doing what most of us do: "....enjoy our Leica's, take pictures and make contact with the world wherever it maybe we live." :-) Gotta tell you it's a hell of a lot easier on ones daily feelings. So hang in there and don't go away, as we do have some very wonderful folks here who are quite knowledgeable in Leica lore and use. And it's always good to have new folks join the screen. kindest regards, ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant - ----- Original Message ----- From: "" <cartersn@nsula.edu> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Monday, March 19, 2001 6:50 AM Subject: [Leica] Re LUG Survival > > 1.
