[Leica] query from new subscriber

For me, I haven't really used film for too long: ie I want to but haven't. I 
develop my own: I would not trust b/w development even in a pro lab any 
more: they have forgotten how to do it and put the junior scumbags onto that 
boring old job. I will eventually get some film through my bevvy of cameras, 
but digital is seductive!!!!!

Cheers

A person that I shall not identify has just subscribed to the LUG, and he is 
wondering if he has come to the right place. He says

and then later on he says

What do you have to say to him? He's listening.
