Agree, Nathan, but it is probably increasingly difficult for Leica to 
remain content with their niche market status. The pressure from 
the public stockholders is what has changed in the equation.

     The precept: Judge not, that ye be not judged... is an
     abdication of moral responsibility. It is a moral blank
     check one gives to others in exchange for a moral blank
     check one expects for oneself. The moral principle to adopt
     is: Judge, and be prepared to be judged.
