I see.

It's OK to discuss, and repeat, and repeat, and repeat, ad nauseam, really
stupid, nothing to do with Leica "photography" on the LUG. Like:

"PC's vs MAC,"
"The slow horrible death of Leica,"
"The Noctilux and toy cameras,"
"The Machiavellian LUG,"
"Thanks!! OT Nikon F5,"
"Thanks!! OT Contax G2: Cost,"
"Leica bashing,"
"That ain't no customer, that's....,"
"Leica vs. Contax wars,"
"Leica R8 brick (millstone?),"
"Leica Pornographers of the world Unite!,"
"leica pimples?," 
"it DOESN'T work well for leica!,"
"pointless debate about speaker cable,"
"Charlton Heston,"

and, of course, the list goes on forever...

But answer a real Leica technical question, with actual facts, verified by
both the factory and our beloved master Leica photographers, we get screams
and moans of "don't tell us what we don't want to hear."

Well... since this is a Leica list, I will use my fifty years of experience
to speak about "Leica photography" technical matters as I see fit. And if I
am wrong about something, I'll be the first to admit it. But if you do not
want to hear me respond to a legitimate question, push delete, or better
yet, filter me to your trash mailbox.
