I'm willing to exercise the delete key liberally, and have never commented negatively when discussions stray into single malt scotches or Tilly hats. But when the bulk of the traffic is increasingly made up of non-Leica photography chatter (i.e. digital) then I think the participants need to exercise a little more self-discipline about where to take those conversations. I don't see why it should be me that leaves to find Leica-related talk rather than the non-Leica talkers. - -- Rolfe Tessem | Lucky Duck Productions, Inc. rolfe@ldp.com | 96 Morton Street (212) 463-0029 | New York, Ny 10014 - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
