Bill,

I have reflected often on the scope of the LUG and have come to the
conclusion that such a tightly-knit group of intelligent and/or educated
people cannot be satisfied with Leica alone.
The LUG is a chat room where friend congregate to talk primarily about their
cameras, photos, and photographic ideas. All of this is interspersed with
whatever is on anyone's mind.

There is an other list that refrains from discussing anything other than
cameras. It is the Contax list and I have not seen a single post in months.

I do not believe that an occasional joke, within the confines of decorum is
a detrimental thing. But I do respect your decision to try to protect your
children from exposure to such, even though I believe it is
counterproductive.

Following Brian's admonition I wrote something that I would like very much
to share with LUGers but am hesitant to post it, therefore I will send it to
you privately.

Cheers,

Joe Codispoti
