The LUG was as interesting and active then as its now. I have been a LUG member almost from the beginning. My posts on this topic were engendered by Mark Rabiner's suggestion that you were not entitled to participate in discussions on the LUG if you did not post pictures. I have no objections to those who wish to post their pictures doing so and others critiquing them. I stringently object to being told that I HAVE to post to belong to the LUG. Some of us just do not like to post pictures. Marc msmall@aya.yale.edu Cha robh b?s fir gun ghr?s fir!
