Just a couple of snobs telling the others that their "mediocre" pics are posted to the LUG for review - BFD!!! Duh. If you don't want to post pics or critique other's pics - then just don't. But please just be quiet about it. Plently other folks are having a grand old time on the LUG - so butt out. This isn't some stupid, crappy jury competition, and it's not SUPPOSED to be. It's the "Leica User Group" mailing list - no more, no less. I didn't sign up for some jury competition - I signed up for the *LUG*. Pic's of sunsets and grandchildren included :-) Clubby? Hell, it's people crazy enough to go out and get into some expensive Leica gear, use RF's regularly, etc.. Again, it well SHOULD be clubby. We're all part of a small niche here. Simple thing to do if you don't like a club - don't join. 'Nough said.
