Blogs are an amazing cultural phenomenon and I'm getting involved.
As are picture galleries.
In the past on the lug we've had people who really were not on the lug but
just pointing to their latest pic now blog URL.
This fits right in for an active lug member who is joining in on threads. We
know who they are. We are interested in what they're up to.
But for someone whose name we barely recognize it just comes down as spam.
That's my opinion and I think.
Welcome to the LUG. Join in.
