The strangest thing about Ted and Sal's post is that they seem to be extremely biased
AGAINST gaining knowledge about Leica, if we as consumers dare to wonder how much of
the "made in Germany" really is made in Germany.  Ironically  Ted in past has
considered  the wonders of his underwear an appropriate  LUG topic, but yet today he
gets upset of if anyone dare asks where Leicas are manufactured, or who does the
subassembly.

I really fail to understand why anyone should try to prevent a discussion about
anything Leica on this list.

As a consumer, I want to know as much as I can about all facets of Leica,  and I
doubt if  I am not the only one who shares this viewpoint.
