I too tend to be annoyed by the volume of chatter, but we have to admit it, the LUG, aside of being a great resource for photographic information and technical exchange, it is also a chat room for people who have or like things Leica and many other subjects. It is also a place to keep in touch with others who may need to express themselves. Yes, there are more appropriate fori for off-topic subjects, but the LUG is more civilized. There has not been a Leica thread in a while. Some time ago a member asked what "microcontrast" is. No one responded (at least I don't recall a reply), I wanted to respond but, like the inquirer, I don't have the faintest idea what microcontrast stands for. So let me ask the same question, what is microcontrast? Now, where did I leave my Cuba libre? Joe From: "B. D. Colen" <bdcolen@earthlink.net> Okay, I am in a REALLY cranky mood, having loaded up on steroids to fight a bad asthma siege. But...Doesn't anyone else here find it surprising, perhaps shocking, maybe appalling, or even down right revolting, that this damn list can be jammed up for going on three days with totally inane chatter about cappuccino makers and Starbucks, but everyone seems to have their nits in a twit because there are "too many" posts relating to the PHOTOGRAPHS that list members post? Think about, folks. This isn't a photography list - it's a consumerism list: Cappuccino makers, Starbucks, Tilly hats, Mephisto shoes, high-priced Scotch, coffee brands, BMWs, Mercedes, blah blah blah blah. Oh yah, and Red Dots. :-< :-< :-< B. D. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
