Well said Bob!  I agree that the perjorative terms are slung a little too 
easily on the LUG.  As a collector, although I might flinch at paying $3000 
for a black paint 50 Summilux in mint condition, the market would certainly 
bear this one out.  In the world of Leica, there is room for both the user 
and the collector.  Heaven help those of us who exhibit all the symptoms of 
full blown Leica mania!

Lets reserve the term moron for the person who bought the gold plated Leica 
concoction (fake) sold on E bay a while back for over $2000.  Now that was a 
real moron!
