Subject: [Leica] An annoying habit from the Oly list is now also infecting the LUG

One of my pet peeves with mailing lists is when people who want to post a 
picture or whatever do not start a new thread but simply reply to a message 
on an existing thread. This has long been an annoyance on the Olympus list, 
but now I am beginning to see it more and more on the Leica list as well 
(perhaps not surprising, given the overlap between the two lists).

I am in the habit of almost automatically deleting any thread with a subject 
line that does not interest me, and also any thread with more than 20-30 
messages, since that usually indicates heavy thread drift or a food fight, 
neither of which interest me. If someone has posted a masterpiece in the 
middle of such threads, I simply will not see it.

So, please, if you have something NEW to share, create a new thread!

Cheers,
Nathan
