America bashing by the ignorant, railing about Anthony's Ignorance, self styled experts who think a discussion means agreeing with them, impolitic flames... Not much about Leica. Or photography. Granted, some do occasionaly write interesting posts. It's not all bad. But sorting through the 90% drivel is boring, and lately its gotten fairly offensive. Even the fun off topic stuff, single malt scotch or Porsches, for instance, is missing. There is, however, lots of rudeness, more fitting to a FOX channel sitcom than a discussion of photography with some of the best equipment ever invented for the purpose. I've tried a few on topic posts myself. It's like shouting in a hurricane. No one even noticed. For those who did read my last (which was off topic, and labeled as such), there's a fairly serious error in my post about the price of beer on the border. Where I said: and the price of a beer had climbed to the unspeakable price of $1.00 a pint. I should have said: and the price of a beer had climbed to the unspeakable price of $0.10 a pint. Now go figure it out! If you *must* know the answer, you can email me privately. Bye for now.
