Hey, Mark - I AM as much a "Leica user" as you are - It doesn't say
"Leica Images Only Gallery;" it doesn't say "Gallery For People Who Are
Using Only Leicas;" and it doesn't say "Must Be A Current Leica Shooter"
- so unless Brian wants to change the rules...

I think that any camera system which gets someone producing a lot of
work is a good thing. But why is it that when I see "LEICA USERS
GALLERY"

I kind of assume these are going to be Leica pictures. Isn't that
crazy!? And if they were not they should SAY SO although I would not
permit them to be on there in the first place if that were the case. Put
them on the "general photography Gallery" street shooting gallery,
whatever. This one says "Leica" and people are going to see BD's
excellent shots, go out and buy a Leica and be disappointed with the
shots they get. Or they might certainly blame it on that. Why give them
that point regardless of the weight you give that. A camera is  a camera
is a camera world not obviously be the opinion of a camera specific list
or gallery. Especially an elitist Leica one!  Love that Olympus glow
though!
