I know that it's a heavy list - especially when I get busy, can't read messages for a few days, log on and see the wall of emails, but 750,000! Fair dues to you, Brian, for all your efforts, and thank you for persisting in keeping your LUG running, and keeping the means open for all of us finicky perfectionists to argue the esoteric merits and demerits of certain camera exotica amongst ourselves! I shall now revert to lurkdom as my non-camera life is suddenly more more demanding than expected. Ah well, these things happen from time to time. Douglas _________ Douglas Barry Bray, Co.
