digest and reviewed about every third digest from the first two years to
see if people were really that nasty early-on.  Yeah, they were.  Some are
even nastier now.  Some went to the Nikon list and spread the nastiness,
then repented  (or got kicked-off of the list) and came back to the LUG to
blather on.   But 

Yeah, and some people have been recently slandering me and others on this
very subject behind our backs. Thank goodness some people have the
integrity to let us know who is saying what about us.

The nastiness isn't nearly as bad as most other lists, but it's here. Bald
faced lies, but that never stopped any cowards who aren't willing to admit
it in public that they believe these lies, or help spread them at innocent
member's expense.

Fortunately, I don't know anyone here, including myself, who was kicked off
the Nikon list. The ones here who I knew there were all very nice.
Actually, the Nikon list was rather civilized too, compared to
rec.photo.whatever... Or had anything to apologize for. 

To whom are you referring?
