Yeah....I guess so....another post made too early in the morning.  

What I mean is (and I hope I don't dig myself any deeper), I resent people
on the LUG telling me that I am defective because I happen to like my
camera equipment looking new (I think brassy cameras look like crap).  New
looks nice, old don't, IMHO.   I have nothing against collectors, and
nothing against hardworking professionals.  If people like the look of Jim
Marshal's M4, thats just fine with me.  But if you are truly a hard working
professional, you shouldn't be worrying about how much brass is showing.  

Medals are for parades, not the battleground.
