I?ve been a member for 10 or 12 years, mostly lurking.
I no longer shoot with Leica cameras (went fully digital a ways back and my 
foray with the M8 was unsatisfying) but do still have most of my M lenses, 
which I use, with adapters, on a variety of digital bodies.
I too want to thank Brian for establishing and maintaining this pleasant and 
familiar little corner of cyberspace.  

Best to you all,
DSR
