Or what does it stand for rather. A reason our evil spin-off on another network got started is they insisted that all they needed to be was enthused abbot their Leicas, not actually use them. They want to GATHER them. GLOAT over them. Modify them. But no not use them. The whole idea is that what people have to say about their Leicas is so much more meaningful if these opinions are based on USE, not conceptions and preconceptions.
