No, not at the moment, Alf...Always!

I don't believe that for a minute, Alf. If true, then it is misleading as hell. If true, the opinion of many of the nations of the world would be far better than the history of the nation shows. The favorite composer of Hitler was Wagner! What could be more misleading? Now, see folks, this is getting pretty far afield from Leica. Yet, only 8 people have responded privately with their interest in a photographic philosophy list. Too few to pursue its establishment. And, it was posted both here and on the Rollei List. If no more interest by the end of this week, I'll abandon the idea. - -- Roger Beamon Naturalist & Photographer Leica Historical Society Of America mailto:beamon@primenet.com Thought for the day: Who needs rhetorical questions?
