I've exchanged mail with the gentleman and enjoy his posts as well. I don't know any of the other story, I thought it was a reference to that objectionable alien puppet that had a sitcom.

Photophreak > is a real person... with a lot of experience. He was even on the LUG IRC as I recall. Some great pictures and some great experiences.. Alfie got his butt kicked because almost everyone hated his photographs and he was charging Fifth Avenue money for them. It was his mixture of attitude and artistic sensibility that got him nailed to the drying rack. If you can get past the anonymous thing, Freak's postings are literate, witty, spelled properly, and gentle. I haven't seen anyone criticize Mr Freak here; that bit about the grassy knoll was a joke. I was initially torqued about Mr Freak because I don't normally permit anonymous LUG members (probably 120 foot-pounds) but I'm good with it now. On the other hand, I'd LOVE to see some of his photos. _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group. See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
