I like Walter Mathau (not sure of the spelling), a very fine actor, may he rest in peace and Robin Williams, a good comedian. But I still would not want to watch one of their movies every day. Too much of a good thing I guess. I realize the LUG is a free and open discussion group but it doesn't mean I have to love everybody and appreciate every post. I moved from the Digest to regular e-mail to be able to use filters and still enjoy the LUG. The last series of discussions on Hitler and Superman as a vegetarian forced me there. I stand by my comment. Its a shame so many of the lurkers who are as or more experienced don't contribute. I guess I should have stopped my comment after stating that. According to the poll there are a lot of "old", "young" and "middle aged" grumpy folks like me, so grumpiness must be catching. Since I got your e-mail I guess your not that grumpy "old" guy :-) Rene - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Brick" <jimbrick@photoaccess.com> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us>; <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Thursday, July 06, 2000 8:12 PM Subject: [Leica] Re: Experience on LUG > At 07:35 PM 7/6/00 -0400, Marthe & Rene wrote: > >I though that the age poll was very interesting.
