Changes of meeting these birds rise significantly when drinking a few glasses of Laphroigh or similar ;) > From: Daniel Ridings <daniel.ridings@muspro.uio.no> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org> > Date: Wed, 4 Aug 2004 22:36:06 +0200 (MEST) > To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] Yesterday's outing > > Phillipe, > > We use solid lines for that.
