[Leica] It's a bird, it's a plane, no, it's SuperRapidWinder!

[John Collier <jbcollier@shaw.ca>]

Yes folks the great RapidWinder tour is about to head to the US. The 
Canadian tour was so arduous that good old SuperRW needed a long holiday 
in warmer climes to recover. SRW took along a rather loose sounding 
Winder-M but what goes on beneath closed camera bags is better left 
unsaid on this august and high toned list. Suffice to say that SRW is in 
top form and ready to go but with a slightly silly grin on its face.

I have contacted all the previous US people on the "modest proposal" 
list and only four people replied (probably email addresses changed). So 
here is a copy of the original post from many moons ago:

PLEASE RESPOND OFF LIST TO jbcollier@shaw.ca as I am unsubscribing for 
the weekend. Remember the Canada bit is already done and I also now have 
the second body (spousal unit not too unhappy and I am sleeping 
remarkably near our house).

Oh yeah, the message:
