Only on the "elitist" groups (Leica, Collins radio, tube audio, guitar) groups do you see this crap.... When I get pissed and leave (regularly) all you see is........................ (nothing). And don't give me any "sensitivity/feelings" bullshit, I work at a university, I heard PLENTY of that in the last ten years... I wouldn't even take that crap from my family....they know where the damn door is, just go through it if you have a problem. I could not IMAGINE working for/with this guy... BTW, do any of us even know who/what he is?....does SOMEONE have to work for/ with him?... Photographers did damn well with Leicas (and many others) prior to all this obsessive hair splitting crap...they bought the best they could afford/get, and made significant and timeless images with them....much better than most of us accomplish in our cushy, pitiful little jobs and lives (apologies to Ted/Tina/Donal/etc--those actually nervy enough to DO photography for a living). Don't hate me because I'm beautiful. I'm mad and I'm leaving now (NO such luck, just kidding) Walt > >
