It may be on topic, but nothing is really accomplished by posting it.  All
that happens is that you end up with a bunch of people on the LUG patting
each other on the back in agreement that this guy is an idiot and doesn't
know an ass from a hole on the ground.  At least if he was part of the LUG,
he would have a chance to respond.  

By the way, it isn't just Leica that gets kicked around on the rec.photo
news groups.  I think that the only camera manufacturer that is immune to
critism there is Nikon (unless you're a Canon user).  Someone shit canned
Minolta the other day, and I may just let myself be dragged into it.  I
better make sure I've had all my shots, first.
