Ted is quite right; not once has violence broken out when coming face
to face with a LUGger; but enjoyable conversation always has ;-).
Even Ted has never resorted to fighting, but maybe that is because
his wife is usually at his side.... :-)
As has been mentioned often by our host Brian, the best thing to do
when you see a post that gets under your collar is to ignore it
and/or delete it.
Just seems that I've felt it necessary to stay low and ignore an
awful lot of stuff lately :-(. Maybe it's the onset of tax season.
Anyway, stay cool and take pictures. It's not necessary to read or
respond to every post.
On a happier note, it was a lovely day here today which made it a
delight to go out when some meetings finished early with a couple of
Leica lenses (21, 35, 90) and some ACROS, and a Noblex and Neopan F.
