Even though we collectively disagree about almost everything, we are still friends. We know what to expect. Sometimes we lurk, sometimes we troll, sometimes we spend countless hours looking-up some odd ball part number for a name we don't yet know. But it's always with a smile. :-) I like the people who contribute "philosophy-babble" on this list. Now don't get hostile, it's a friendly term. The first definition of babble is "to talk enthusiastically." Just don't read past that definition. There is an enormous amount of intelligence put forth on this list. And it's not always about hardware. There is a very important common bond. The Leica. Not Nikon. Not Canon. Leica. >I'm loving the current "bokeh" thread in which I find Patrick's thinking so very much like mine. But I'm upset that you like Patrick's Bokeh better than my Bokeh! ;-) Jim
