Well, it the saloonkeeper had taken the extremist, Leica-only line,  
then I would have had to leave the list in 2004. And who knows if I  
would have bought the M8 in Dec. 2008 then. So I am quite pleased that  
Brian and Jim keep a wide open church here. I shoot 99% with the M8  
now, but I am solidly in camp #1.
