At your service. Over 35,000,000 frames exposed.

Definitely a dictatorship. Not even a glimmer of democracy, though I do read almost every message and note what people are saying.

However, unlike more conventional dictatorships, we offer free competition. If you don't like the way the LUG is run, and you would like to run your own list with different rules, I am more than happy to give you resources on my own server computers to run your list as long as you do all the work. I have no interest in monopoly; dictatorship is all I need. I can even park your own domain for you, so you don't have to have the dreaded "mejac.palo-alto.ca.us" in your email address.

You got it. If the world has come to the point that Leica Camera AG is the best we can do as an example of capitalist imperialism, then I guess I need to go turn in my Exxon credit card and take down my poster of Michael Moore.
