That was my point exactly. I'm all for an M6E and I don't see the harm in letting 
Leica know what we (some of us at least) want. After all, it will be an alternative M6 
for those of us that want an extended featureset and it's inconceivable that it would 
replace the current camera. A hybrid shutter would be nice, but if it were to make 
the camera louder (it's already not as quiet as its reputation requires), that would be 
a mistake.  

Why this conversation qualifies as an 'embarrasment', in the minds of some, is 
puzzling; strict conformity is not a requirement of the LUG that I'm aware of (yet).

Delete at will, those of you who cannot stomach the march.
