Subject: [Leica] ROR vs. ClearSight

So what's the deal with this ClearSight stuff?  About a year and a half ago,
there was a spate of glowing reports on the LUG about ROR which toted it as
the greatest invention Man has seen since the advent of indoor plumbing.
After soliloqies on its soluability, I eventually bought a bottle, but use
it more for cleaning DVDs from BlockBuster than lenses (for some strange
reason, the person who rents the DVD before me always insists on touching
the recorded side with their greasy fingers).

Now all of a sudden one could -- after reading the LUG recently -- be
forgiven for thinking that ROR is no more effective than soapy water and
that ClearSight is the way to go.  So, what's the deal?  Is ClearSight
"better"?  The same stuff in a different bottle?  Or are lens-cleaning fluid
manufacturers simply trying to subvert us by using a few corrupt LUGGERs to
influence the rest of us? ;)
