Well I agree with you whole heartedly as far as the "political &
materialistic" walk away stuff  goes. After all we are about Leica, be that
M or R and the uses there of.  Better we all, including Oddmund, stick to
cameras and leave the philosophy stuff to the philosophers while visiting
the outhouse! .

Let's hope he stays away from politics and on photography topics, if he
doesn't I'm sure we'll have disturbing turmoil the likes non of us wants
nor requires these days.

Maybe he's had a different time in life since his last visit and we'll find
a new and enlightend Oddmund, let's see what happens.  I know I don't want
to go head to had with him as I did in the past. Actually I wont go head to
head with him....DELETE!

Stay with the printing now and not too uch of that "Powers whiskey" by the
elbow! It makes for double exposures in the darkroom light! :)
