they are doing something right to get me to shell out for a dlux4 and
then a 21 lux in my present diminished circumstances.  i for one, am
astonished a company so often laid out with pennies in its eyes can  come up 
with such intriguing and desirable offerings.  to bring these things to 
market,
as well as the one-of-a-kind m8, the purist mp, the remarkable noctilux, and 
the jewel of the 35 lux asph.  

surely not ineptitude.
