ROTFL, well, nearly...........:-) It's a curse having a short name like Time, Lime, Dime and Mime, and then finding people want to change it into something else. It can't be that strange but people don't take to it at all! Also the 'Jem' bit, gets changed into Jim, James - a little more understandable, but hey! It makes the world go round. Jem - -----Original Message----- From: Simon Pulman-Jones [SMTP:spulmanjones@lbs.ac.uk] Jem, Surely it can't be a coincidence that in the issue of Amateur Photographer that came out today you were mentioned for your advice to the editor on choice of screw mount Leicas - under the name of Jem Klime? Don't they know how long it is since the Kimes dropped that superfluous "L" ?

Mark, A feeble attempt at humour derived from a spelling aberration. As Marc had corrected someone for mis-spelling Voigtlander, I noticed he had mis-spelt his own name. It seemed ironic and worth a little amusement, however I recall reading that one of the netiquette rules is never to admonish others for their spelling mistakes, so perhaps this was rather petty-minded of me.
