And BD echoed similar sentiments.

I enjoyed dinner yesterday with the Denver LUG, all of which used to  
use Leica equipment often, and some of which still do, though mostly  
digital. Others of us are waiting for Leica to catch up with us.  
Sound familiar? In any case, though we were brought together by a  
shared interest in things Leica, and retain that interest, our  
conversations also vary widely. Our little group includes the  
proverbial doctor, lawyer, and professional photographers both full  
and part time, a systems administrator, business owner, and office  
manager. Sometimes the professional pilot drops in too. Every one  
there is long past equipment chauvinism. We typically show a lot of  
photos to each other.

If my experience with LUG types is any indication, I can't wait to  
meet other LUG folks. What a nice community Brian has helped assemble  
these last 12 (?) years or so.
