A FAQ for this group would be a real service if you're willing to put it 
together. Some common topics (off the top of my head):

What's the diff. b/t the various LSM models?
Which M finders have frames for which focal lengths?
Older vs. newer 35 Summicron, 50 Summicron, 90 4.0/2.8
Where do I find lens tests and what are they good for?
Prices?
Addresses and refs. for various Leica organizations, publications, and 
repair shops?
What is "the glow"?
Why should the M still exist in its low-tech form?

Obviously, some of these topics should be actively discussed, but a 
concise FAQ that acknowledges the various takes on subjects such as older 
vs. newer 50 Summicrons would relieve the tedium of seeing the same basic 
material addressed every couple of months and provide an excellent 
reference for folks like me who ignore a thread and then remember its 
existence half a year later when I become curious about the subject.
