	Right on, Eric!

	I felt exactly the same. Tell these people it's only
	a camera!

	Ah. Maybe the "guy" (I presume it) is out to make some
	money by photographing the disaster. And when the ship
	is sinking in salt water, the batteries and guts of the
	electronic marvels would fail and hence he wouldn't get
	the shot. So, we shoud view this person not as a Leica-zealot,
	but rather someone out to make a quick buck off someone
	else's problems.

	I love my Leica but when there's no disaster, I also
	shoot equally well with my M7 (Mamiya) or Roundshot 35s.
	The results are spectacular - but I do need batteries!
