Alan, You are correct. We need to be polite, and be considerate of other people's feelings. But how many of those "victims" you characterize come in here telling us we Leica people are a bunch of elitist snobs who wouldn't know the difference between a good and great lens. They come in with big sticks on their shoulders just daring us to knock them off. Some people come in sounding like the Monty Python skit "Yes it is, not it isn't. Yes it is, no it isn't. Is, isn't." For example, how often am I told, indirectly, that I don't know what I'm talking about because I'm stupid enough to invest in R equipment when Nikon and Canon are the only real alternatives (except that Olympus is cool, if old, Pentax has polite reps and Minolta is a better choice too. I keep expecting to hear Alpa is a better choice!). I already welcomed you to that group, by the way - the stupid R buyers... :-) Sectarian behavior is one thing, plain rudeness is another. We don't need either. Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch When there's a will, I want to be in it.
