Please do not apologise.  I am learning a lot about your (American) way of
life through reading the LUG and from the various exchanges.  Over this
past 2+ years many of you have become personal friends whom I communicate
with by private email.

As to the matter whether Leica is listening, I suspect that there are leica
employees reading the LUG messages.  I remember some weeks back when
someone posted a message about the 1999 Leica EMOTIONS calendar.  I have
reason to believe that he works at Solms.  How much of our discussion is
taken seriously by Solms is another matter.
