Re: [Leica] Shutterbug (whew)

I'm not too sure what this your posting is  about, because, I pointed out in
an earlier answer that my first post did NOT require any certification of
qualification for you to express an opinion.

In any event, I never quarreled with your opinion of the quality of
Shutterbug pictures in my entire post. Look back; I merely pointed out that
there had been improvement in quality overall, and talked about advertising
issues.  I never addressed  models or lighting.

Almost as an aside I asked for, and never received a pointer to some of your
work.  There was no implication.  The inference that I was coupling your
right to an opinion to your photographic ability was yours.

 I fail to see how I could be thought to judge your opinions by your
photography.  Lord knows, I would hate it if people said that my opinions
stink, (and they often do,) so therefore my photography must be bad.

And why don't you sign your postings?
