I'm not arguing with the way Brian wants to run things..
But I think that it is overly obvious then when one goes the the Hasselblad
Users gallery one expects to see Hasselblad pictures. Certainly if they are
not marked elsewise you would be surprised to find a Pentax shot in there!

And I think that it is overly obvious then when one goes to the Rolleiflex
Users gallery one expects to see Rolleiflex pictures. Certainly if they are
not marked elsewise you would be surprised to find a Minolta shot in there!
"Hey Harry what's that Minolta shot doing in there!!?"

And I think that it is overly obvious then when one goes to the Canon Users
gallery one expects to see Canon pictures. Not some damn Nikon picture. As I
shoot with Nikons I'd not post them there. I'd post them on the Nikon
gallery. Isn't that wild!?
Ever walk into the wrong bar?!! :) (I was thinking hard hats) (who all knew
each other) (and your hat was soft)

Maybe a fella has a page of Canon pictures and at the bottom he says "Hey
here's one I took with my damn NIKON!!! Isn't that a hoot!!! Can't tell
180x180 pixels can you!!!?  Might as well be a cardboard disposable it would
look the same on the average monitor!
But if they was shooting roll after roll of Nikon pix they just might
consider just putting them on the Nikon gallery instead. Before they got a
photo mailer bomb in the mail from some insulted Canon fanatic. Of which I'm
sure there are many. And the place to find them just might be on the Canon
gallery. That's where they'd cluster. If there was one.

Are there a lot of other non Leica pictures on the Leica gallery? Any at
all?
