Perhaps you misunderstood. I did not say that the well-paid professional
people were the only people on this list, I simply pointed out that they
are on the list, and that is an accurate observation. I know that there are
other types of person on this list- I am one of them. I was not talking
about them though! My point, maybe it bears repeating, is that the
expensive Leica equipment that some own can make them a target for jealous
people. It is a common thing to see on usenet, though not so frequent here.
 I have not knowingly used a cliche, and would not if you paid me. Well it
would depend on the amount I suppose... ;-)
