The attacks came far earlier in the FOM2 thread than I am used to seeing on the LUG. It is unfortunate that both the participants in the thread AND the subject (people, usually) in the thread end up getting dung all over them. I'm sure that the FOM2 thread will come up again, simply because it seems to be a Leica promotion based on other promotions in the past (e.g., contests sponsored by Kodak in which you must use Kodak film). I regret that I didn't get out of Wednesday's thread sooner than I did. Hmmm....now somebody appears to be defending the reputation and integrity of Amtrak. Think I'll go watch that Twilight Zone marathon........ Jeffery At 03:15 PM 7/5/2002 -0400, you wrote: >At least you didn't resort to telling me my images suck.
