 You are amazed at the passion that can be aroused by unimportant issues,
 and yet in almost the same breadth you seem to get all bitter and twisted
 about the harmless question of percentage of time used by lenses.  Learn to

I am curious.  What usefullness does the percentage of use of lenses
ultimately have?  What is being done with this seemingly unimportant data.  Is
someone collecting and evaluating this data to publish it later?  For two days
it's the color of dots on plastic bags and for several more days it's the
plastic base plate cover.  What good is this information?
