[Leica] Preliminary 2009 LUG survey results

[hopsternew at gmail.com (Geoff Hopkinson)]

Jim I was actually thinking that we are seeing quite a number of posts from
new names so far this year. It would be interesting to see a breakdown of
respondents that are the most active members against the other statistics. I
know that Brian has intentionally anonymised the data, which is correct of
course.  I could make a fair stab though at the other 9 who ticked top ten
posters in their responses! Actually the one statistic that is prominent is
the overwhelming male bias in the respondents. Thank heavens we have Tina
and Sue, I don't know who else (Elizabeth?), to add some elegance to our
membership!
