Dan,

I do not know if I am one of the most opinionated here, but I have not posted on
the MSN site--not because I am worried about Bill Gates stealing my snaps but
because every time I have gone to the site to look at the work displayed, either I
could not get in at all or the download times were unbearably slow. I use a
reasonably recent version of Netscape and an otherwise pretty good ISDN connection,
so my conclusion is that there is something about the server or the way my Netscape
browser interacts with a MSN site that makes it virtually inaccessible for me (and
I will not use IE for ideological reasons).

There are plenty of Leica shots on my own websites.

Nathan
