Subject: [Leica] LUG - Way over my budget...

I do tend to sympathise with Jan over the volume. He is a long time  
list member, IIRC. I have been on the LUG the best part of 10 years,  
and much as I love it the sheer volume is overwhelming when I am  
working, so I tend to delete the lot most days :-(
There is not much of an alternative solution, and I used the digest  
version originally and found it -more- difficult to deal with the  
volume since one can not delete whole threads without looking if you  
find them uninteresting.
Overall the LUG is by far my favourite!
