You have about 3% of the LUG active at any given time. If you look at who they are, they are fairly consistently the same people who think they have something great to say. The one's who are causing the problem have a political message. Interestingly, these folks never come to #leica in the IRC where they can get slapped in real time. (Course you were somewhat overwhelmed when you joined that group).
