Since it seems to be an emotive subject (and I am an owner and enthusiast), I would just add that the frame-lines comments are inaccurate and/or muddled. Disclaimer, my M8 never gets into combat zones.

I was out of town at that time it must have been discussed on the Lug so I must have missed it. I mentioned it only because there was a reference to it in Bill Pierce's "Nuts & Bolts" column in The Digital Journalist. http://digitaljournalist.org/issue0807/nuts-bolts.html I've always found his writing topical and insightful and based on his lifetime of experience (no pun intended). Anyway, that's why I thought I'd share it with the group. Sorry if I bothered anyone with old news.
