I have found that my interest in photography has led me into some amazing, crazy, new and exciting places, places I would not have ventured had it not been for this interest - I see LUG as an extension of this adventure and whilst it is not my primary motive, I hope as I have in the past, to make some lasting long term friendships. Of, me - at the age where my own story bores me to tears, hence my interest in everyone elses - I feel that listening and observancy are crucial to photography and by what I have read so far on LUG some more light hearted humour could go a long way - ie. we are a long time dead. Thanks for the interest, Take Care Karina - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Doug Herr" <telyt@earthlink.net> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Friday, March 08, 2002 12:34 AM Subject: Re: [Leica] Any South Africans on LUG? > on 3/6/02 10:58 PM, kiklaas@iinet.net.au at kiklaas@iinet.net.au wrote: > > > Bill, > > > > When I make new friends I am always interested in their > > history/backgrounds etc. > > > > I do not wish to have my curiosity misconstrued for bigotry or any other > > misguided ulterior motives. > > > > I have had positive responses to most of my questions as a newcomber and > > believe that I am capable to handling my communication with manners and > > only the best intentions - I do not feel the need for a lesson on how to > > behave on this thread. > > > > I value the friendships and am naturally curious as I am observant. > > > > I make my "tongue in cheek" comments (my reference to political > > correctness) clear by adding :-). > > > > I respect all of mankind, including those that take life very seriously > > and totally lack a sense of humour - we each have our place. > > > > It is not in my nature to impose myself on others.
