(not wanting to sound like a net.policeman, but i think this bears
mentioning)

while it was inappropriate for the origional
poster to post the way-off-topic "internet tax forward me to everyone you
know" thingie, the two posters who complained about it included the entire
offending post in their replies, thereby exaserbating the problem.

general mailing list netiquitte calls for snipping out what you're not
specifically commenting on, not just in things like this, but in ordinary
posts as well. this keeps the list from growing to huge proportions and
driving people away.

ob leica: does anyone make a waist level finder that i can attach to my
M? there's something to be said for framing while shooting from the hip,
which i do a lot of (shooting from hip that is). I was in an art gallery
last week in Chicago and a woman whipped off her t-shirt, flashed a Gaugan
painting shouted something in Spanish and threw her shirt back on and
scurried out the door, leaving me wondering "geez, did i get that shot?"
ya never know when crazy things are going to happen...
