The LUG is a great resource of arcane things.  Sometimes we even talk about
Leicas.  If you have a question about Leicas don't be shy, ask away.
Amazing depth of knowledge here.  If you have a question that is bizzarro
arcane there is a good chance that someone on the list has the answer and is
extremely happy that someone else shares the passion.

I met Chris at the Orlando PMA, good chap and hopefully does right by your
daughter. :)

Enjoy the saloon and have a cold one on us.
