Well Sam I am a car guy and have several nice German and Italian cars but I certainly respect peoples right to think that spending excessive money on a car is a big waste. I would certainly never let some comment like Jim's bother me. Sure many of us have worked hard to attain the 'good' things in life. But having a fancy car is no proof on ones worth. Steve Forbes, for example, drives a beat up, old Buick station wagon. > > I find it interesting the BD quoted the first sentance of my PS but did > not have the guts to post the last sentence.

Which once again proves it is not the fancy equipment, it is the minds eye that makes great photos. I was really expecting much more considering your ridiculous statement that your's are better than Jim's even though you have'nt seen his. > > Sam Carleton > Cincinnati, Ohio, USA > Sam, you seem to be a newcomer here, please take some time to listen and learn before taking on the whole LUG. sl - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
