Now don't be offended & ask for a "vote of > confidence" again as you have your philosophy & ethics as do I. I have NEVER said anything to put down Don Chatterton. And you are out of line to make such a claim. I said "He is the man!" That is good, in case you don't understand the American vernacular. Sorry if that's the case. Most people know Jim Kuehl had some trouble with Leica. I won't go into it here. But I can tell you he has always treated me with the greatest consideration, and never cheated me. Alway too a lens back when I didn't like it. So where did you see me say bad things about Jim? Huh? Put up or shut up. (Another vernacular). >I know nothing about your comment on Leica USA punishing anyone for any- >thing - but surely you are not so stupid as to say that you think it is >ethical to >sell "Demos" as new? How ever did you get that idea? I said nothing of the sort. Stop using insulting language and stop attacking when you can't even read my posts accurately. My point was that it is REQUIRED by Leica that dealers not sell Demos as new. What's so hard to understand about that? There were dealers who did just that. And dealers who were counterfieting passport warranties. And what evidence is that the Leica is phasing out their Passport warranty? I have yet to see any. And I just bought my M6 with one, and talked to the warranty people at Leica USA and they said nothing of the sort. If you don't believe me, call Leica USA and ask. I don't need a "vote of confidence." Read more carefully before hitting the reply button. ========== Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch Hard work has a future payoff.
