Maybe a little bit unfair. But that's not the point. When one reads, grandiloquently FoM2 one thinks of something big, thinks in something wider concerning, including, involving the most one can imagine re the huge family of man. "Man" is a very wide and intense concept indeed, Family of man is even more intense and/or wider. So, why would you and/or others state that the only images to enter the project should have to be this or that brand. As much wide is the FoM2 project, and really it is, as much wider would have to be our minds supporting it. Going simpler, as you not so humbly suggest, would render a narrower result as a reflection of our narrower minds, and souls too. And we're not complaining, just suggesting. I didn't see anybody complaining but maybe criticizing keeping forms in place. I wonder why you feel bothered ... Sometimes elitist arguments used to lead people towards very undesirable goals. I would not like to name nor start a thread about that. Existing people wanting or willing to participate of the project and rejecting them or us, by those weak reasons really sounds insane. now let me suggest you to relax... maybe while fondling your Leica gear start thinking that human beings are quiet much more than a simple brand, then than Leica too. This is about human beings, not cameras, not brands. Hope this helps Pablo - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
