"War" is a little broad. A search of "Leitz labor" netted some 70 posts,
many of which deal specifically with the issues raised by David. Here's a
link to those posts:

Without wishing to pick on anybody, I think it should be said that many
issues have been discussed ad infinitum on this list, and all related posts
are available through the archives. It never hurts to check there before
posting a question; you might find your answer and avoid the slings and
arrows of outrageous fortune should you run afoul of "got up on the wrong
side of the bed" Luggers.
