D. > B.D. -- you have been banging the same old drum for several years now. Please explain what you have against those people who are happy with their Leicas. OK, a new M7 costs about $2700. Is it worth it? Probably not. But apparently it is to many who are buying them. A new Porsche 911 Carrera costs about $80,000. Is it worth it? Apparently so, they cannot keep up with the orders. Are digicams great and the wave of the future? Yes I think they are. But so what? There are 10s of thousands of people who love their Leicas and really do not need you making them feel about about liking something. So now on your 57th (Happy Birthday BTW), how about you moving on to some other crusade that is more meaningful to you and something more important than your constant and meaningless Leica bashing.
