I wish we could get over this constant discussion. When I first switched 
away from Leica I offered to resign from the LUG and was told very firmly 
that it was 'the spirit of Leica-shooting' which was essential rather than 
the gear itself. I think I have adequately proved over the intervening 
period that I shoot with the spirit of Leica but I am feeling increasingly 
unwelcome here. This stupidity needs a resolution, maybe a vote by all the 
true Leica shooters. In the meantime I will be enjoying my LUG gathering in 
Barcelona next week with no guilt, but whether I will still be a member here 
when I get back is another matter.
