[Leica]Strange posts, strange replys

["Dan S" <dstate1@hotmail.com>]

I am dissappointed by the many rude replys and general animosity that is 
being shown in regards to Anthony.  While his posts are generally not of a 
high quality level he is CERTAINLY not alone in this!  Indeed many of our 
other "frequent flyers" on this list are guilty of equally stupid comments.

Wouldn't a better response to a post you don't like be to ignore it?  I 
don't think we are advancing the cause of the group by spending extra time 
giving this poor soul a "working over".

Best Wishes
Dan States
