Byron yer right old buddy!

Folks,
what I see here is a fine man/photographer (Mark) whose an experienced and
knowledgeable member of the LUG being taken to task, so's to speak, by some
folks that are far to serious about life and photography in general.

One of the things that creates verbal conflict are those who are so damn
serious about all this Leica and photography stuff. Hell if everyone
lightened up and enjoyed the banter, hung loose and shrug or laugh at most
of it, the world and the LUG would be a better place.

There aren't too many people who understand life and times before they are
forty nor do they develop a commpn sense attitude, some after that really
screw it up. But you really get the meaning of hanging out and loose after
you turn 65. Then the real fun begins at 70, man you're cool, don't care
and hangin' loose!  And livin is just fun and good times!:) Oh you kick ass
once in awhile, but you've lived long enough and earned the right to do
that! :)

So folks laugh at each other and laugh with each other all the time!:)

We're only here a short time and just when you think it's forever and taken
it all serious like, you'll get yer ass kicked and the rug pulled out from
under you! So stay loose!

What the hell you may think is the end of the world because someone makes a
cutting remark about a Leica or some other diddily photo thing, it isn't
worth getting peeed off at. Shrug and make fun of it unless you have an
honest to goodness rebutal.

Ain't none of it worth gettin' all testy like over diddly squat!

Like they say, "Yer a good man Charlie Brown!"   ergo Mark Rabiner! :)
