"First, let's KILL all the Leica collectors..."

I'd like to add that THEN, we all take a beer-can opener and 
"engrave" our names and "MOM" on the top cover of ALL our 
Bodies and lens barrells....to hell with black tape, lets 
mask the windows and "color code" our gear with spray paint...

Anything to prevent another generation of LHSA.....
