[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Hi Bob, Sorry about that, it wasn't anything personal nor about the LUG. Actually I figured all this stuff about print swapping was going to the same eventual pot and never thought about the LUG being separate and not connecting with the print swapping. So I hope this answers your question and obviously I suppose everyone on the LUG will get this and wonder.. "what's that old fart up to now?" :-) Having a senior moment! :-) ted -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of bob palmieri Sent: Thursday, December 06, 2007 5:06 PM To: lug@leica-users.org Subject: [Leica] Re: Size Matters (Ted Grant) On Dec 6, 2007, at 3:30 PM, Ted Grant wrote: > > Actually I don't care what size they are as long as they're worth > printing > or collecting in a binder album!

The reason I posted this to the LUG was that it was a general thing about print sizes, not about the Swap Team upload proceedure.
