Canon rangefinders are fine, of course, even according to the 
strictest reading of the guidelines.

It's quite interesting how Brian sets out very few rules, if
any in the guidelines.  My reading of it is that he states 
his intention and sets the most general guidelines, 
then leaves it up to each of us to decide what's ok and 
what's not, for ourselves individually.  You decide what's on-topic 
for you, and I decide what's on-topic for me, and that's 
it.  I suppose that Brian's belief is that despite 
the occasional abuses, things eventually converge 
and the detours along the way make for a richer and 
more meaningful experience, and that makes all the difference.

I bet he does the same with his children, once they start
thinking on their own.
