It came in a context of accusations and insults that have a long history on this list, as anyone knows. While the question may have been appropriate, the inquisition-style delivery was not, IMO. It was mean-spirited, and personality driven, totally in keeping with the Lug's way of "dealing with" Erwin. FWIW, I wasn't subscribed to Erwin's newsletter, don't believe everything he (or anybody else) says, am able to discern his opinion from research-based facts, don't care about his relationship with Leica since he's not my sole source of info on the gear and I'm capable of making up my own mind, appreciate his input to this list and his website, am not affiliated with him in any way other than having learned from his posts, and get a lot more from the latter than the totally useless flap that they seem to provoke.
