Obviously I believe it is relevant. > PHOTOGRAHERS ARE NOT AMORAL, APOLITICAL > ROBOTS WITH PHOTOGRAPHIC MOTHERBOARDS. Interesting thoughts. But if we depart from Leicas and using Leicas and delve into the politics of the photog .................Why stop there?? What about the food they ate that day, the car they drove, the color of clothes they wore, how long or short their hair is, do they have body piercings, did they get laid the night before?? All of this stuff might have some obscure effect on the pics, but does it have a place on a User's group that subscribed to share info about using Leicas? I don't think so, but that's just my opinion. It's like subscribing to a Photo Magazine and getting a Political Magazine instead. Stephen Gandy
