[Leica] Do you remember why you joined the LUG?

[leica at jayburleson.com (Jay Burleson)]

Yes, yes I do.
I don't know exactly when but it was probably the late 90's that I found 
the LUG on this new fangled internet thing.
Been using an M6 & various lenses to complement my 5x4 Wisner and 
Hasselblad equipment for many years but finally I found a community of 
folks who talked "LEICA". And photography.
I'm back here, regularly again, and still glad there is a place to 
discuss all thinga Leica & photography.
And many of the members of that community from the 90's are still here, 
which is even more wonderful.
