He is not the webmaster. He, like thee and me, is just one of a very large number of members of this list - all of whom are free to express our often strong opinions on any subject from Tilley hats, to single malt Scotch, to Mont Blanc pens, to - get this, Leicas and photography!

Forgive me. My first post was May 30th and if you check the archives the responses were an interesting introduction to the LUG. Not quite what I expected. I've pretty much laid back since, except for a few (37) posts that are all fairly innocuous. I was quite excited to join this list (and am still excited to be able to learn and discuss from/with the likes of Tina Manley and yourself) but after the fire storm of political replys to my first post I have been keeping my head fairly down low ever since. So, how much longer do you suggest and when is my initiation? Thank you sir, may I have another? :-) :-) Clif Wright - --- Mark Rabiner <mark@markrabiner.com> wrote: > clifford wright wrote: > > > > With all due respect this is a public list. > > Now if its a secret club then maybe you should > come > > up with a password. : - ) > > Clif Wright > > A new member of the lug.
