Re: [Leica] Busted with my M2

Dear Javier,

Several members on this list have asked you to stop, but it really 
seems you do not care to listen. So despite the risk of further 
extremist rhetoric, I'll just state bluntly that not a single line of 
your post is supported by reaasoned evidence (and no, I don't want 
you to even try!). The whole tone of your post bears the stamp of 
high decibel sloganeering, which is the surest way to stop the ears 
of your listeners.

I'm sure you do not need reminding that the LUG is not a platform set 
up for the purpose of political debate, but while you have every 
right to express your political views where these bear some relevence 
to a LUG topic, you do NOT have the right to usurp its primary 
purpose. Those of us who find your tone abrasive, ill-informed, 
extremist bigotry and ultimately irrelevant to the concerns of the 
LUG will continue to use the delete button. What a waste of your 
efforts!

I think we all look forward to the return of your old smiling self;-)
Nick
