I suspect this is a typical case of e-mail mania, where simple comments are taken beyond their meaning or intent. I would encourage anyone and everyone interested in Photography to experiment and experience any and every aspect, as a way of becoming a better photographer, but if someone wants to "limit" himself to one topic, so be it. The outpouring of support, is based on the assumption that he was indeed told that it was inappropriate for the LUG, which, as a ruleless internet community is simply not true, but I support you fully in encouraging everyone on the list to go beyond the work they currently do and seek to extend their work. Please keep nagging me for example -- I'm keen ;-) Cheers - -- Alastair Firkin http://www.afirkin.com The Family of Man 2 Exhibit for Year one is now showing: http://users.netconnect.com.au/~firkin/FOM2%20Folder/YearOneExhibit/YearOne.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
