[Leica] IMG: Family

[photo at frozenlight.eu (Nathan Wajsman)]

I am 100% with George and Mark here. I think behavior standards in this 
regard have deteriorated since the 90s. Back then, a Swedish company I did 
business with had a rule that the person whose mobile rang during a meeting 
had to buy lunch for all the attendees.

I am entirely comfortable turning off my mobile when I do not wish to be 
reachable.
