1. Okay, okay, Kansas is not Hyde Park - but how about recognizing that
virtually nothing that gets written on this list about the corporate ins
and outs of Solms, and what Mother/Father Leica is or isn't going to do is
anything but mental masterbation. It's just a likely, or unlikely, that
Solms might be talking to a deal in "the heartland" as it is that they
would be talking to a dealer in the Fatherland. Which is NOT to suggest
that this information is in any way accurate - just pointing out that its
coming from Kansas doesn't negate it. After all, Dorothy came from Kansas.

2. Virtually everything on the Net is at least 90 percent BS...But the 90
percent can be quite entertaining and the remaining 10 percent - probably
more like 1 percent - can prove quite useful.
