I joined with the millennium. Found out about it in Chicago during a Leica
historical society meeting Oct, 1999 they were having a LUG meeting in one
of the rooms. When I got back to Portland I signed up. For several months I
was just getting the thing in bulk. Printing it out and putting it under my
pillow. I'd underline parts. When I switched to single message I got more
involved. Its been a good dozen  years! Thanks Brian! What an  amazing
thing!
