Yep, I'm up again, Oddmund. It occurred to me that *I* was the
fool letting you chase me off a list that I enjoyed. If you feel
obligated to pursue your political agenda, then I am here to tough it
out with you. Tell you what, though, we're gonna really bother the
troops!

Better stick with your photography, Oddmund. I *know* wine. Why you
are on this list puzzles me. You appear to think that anyone who has
a measure of material wealth has come by it in an improper way.
Leica users obviously are anathema to you.
I dare say that most of the subscribers here have long ago made the
contract with their hearts as to what they like to photograph and
why. We are, after all, the aging, wealthy, status seeking, jaded
types that you so eschew.

"Shivering"? How anthropomorphic! I must add that even in lesser
years the future of a Mouton is rarely uncertain.

A weatherproof AF might go with certain wines, but not '29 Mouton.
Wet, yes, in terms of the wine present, but, if I infer correctly,
not due to a lack of sobriety.
