I do know that it is not the first time that he has received rude mail off list. Of course he is not alone in having that very unpleasant experience. That is a very great shame then. But the gentleman has certainly earned a retirement after all, however much he will be sorely missed by many and certainly I am among those. I am very confident that Ted's retiremnt of course is merely from LUG activity not from photography.
