<color><param>0100,0100,0100</param>Spoken like a true practitioner of the 'scientific method', Erwin. My  
hat's off to you for your stringent use of it and listening to all views. 


I quite agree, but unfortunately, I am (and, I suspect most others) a 
 part of that vast legion of average <italic>Homo sapiens, </italic>who, after 
hearing the constant whines, begin to dismiss the person rather than 
the view only. You are an inspiration for me to mend my ways. 


(The interesting  thing is that I, too, fall into the class of constant 
whiner. Not with respect to Leica, but the body politic. I guess that 
we all have our  'Achilles Heel'.)

   Thought for the day:
        For every action, there is
        an equal and opposite criticism.
