[lluisripollquerol at gmail.com (Lluis Ripoll)]

TINA,

I had no time to follow the discussion, and neither I wan't continue on it, 
I have other things where I want employ my time. Just read few from Ted and 
you now and I would like just to add two cents. You Tina, you don't need 
explain neither justify your work, we know it, and I say once more 
congratulations for this. It is not your fault if you have make business, 
this is the target many of us wanted, it is not your fault if Leica is maybe 
the best camera system ever made, everyone can do his own choice, it is not 
your fault if you have bought or not bought any lens in the latest years, 
you don't need justify anything, just continue showing and letting us 
continue enjoy your work.

Thank you for all of this, you have been very kind telling us all these 
things

Saludos desde Barcelona!
Lluis
