Re: [Leica] RE: "Folks"

It's crap like this that denies the LUG valuable contributors and turns
many subscribers into "lurkers". A few paranoid users on this
list who only want to "stir the shit" try to find conspiracy at every turn.
Please keep your insecurities to yourself or send them off list.

Most folks posting on the LUG from work, work at something other than a
photo store. In mine and Brian Reid case, it is an engineering company. I
would think that it is perfectly legitimate for Henry Posner to post on
photography lists all day long and his employer would condone it.

What I don't like is the advertising banner in my face all of the time.
Other LUG folks with photo stores that contribute to the normal list
chatter don't do this.

What I doubly don't like is, in the middle of these banners flying (both
"from" banner and signature), the by line is, when the subject is
controversial, "this is my opinion, not my employers."

I agree that Henry has very good "photography" information to contribute.
And if he is contributing photography information, he would not have to
hide behind a disclaimer. The whole thing just looks ugly.

I have always enjoyed Henry's participation on the HUG while it was
photography related.

I personally think Henry should loose the advertising completely and just
participate as a normal HUGger and a LUGger rather than a representative of
B&H. I think he is way out of line. Both advertising and claiming anonymity
in the same breath. Constant advertising alone is a no no on these lists.

Anybody remember when Don Chatterton was run off simply because he WAS a
dealer. And he didn't advertise at all.

IMHO,
