What good does it do to post it to the LUG? It doesn't remedy his problem, it doesn't change Leica's practices, it doesn't have any consequences for those going to purchase gear. It's only function is retribution for the poster and annoyance for the rest of us. > And if it only occurs once every six months, why should that be a problem? Well, if it's not a problem, why write ANYTHING about it at all? > Your response intimidates others from posting "defect" messages Good! > and if > taken to an extreme, ANY kind of message that could be dumped to > "it's in the archives and has been covered before", so it's a dead horse. I think that most people are capable of making the distrinction between raising an issue which has been discussed before, either in light of something new, or because it was not exhausted before; and raising an issue which (a) leads nowhere, (b) generates a lot of inflammatory messages, (c) has been exhausted.
