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... ;-) Joe Berenbaum
