Subject: [Leica] Please Let's Nip The Political Foodfight in the Bud!

These have never come to any good on the list.  Not only have these
types of discussions failed to convince list member to change long-held
convictions, the vitriol of past exchanges has resulted in several list
shut-downs.  

Do we really need Brian to invoke the e-equivalent of Taft-Hartley and
declare a cooling-off period?  I hope not.

I see no reason not to leave it at a discussion about Leicas and
photography, irrespective of individual political beliefs.  If you feel
strongly about responding to another's worldview (outside the realm of
camera equipment), there's always the option of an off list reply.

Best,

Once we are Islamist we won't have to worry about having Leicas, there
won't
be any beauty to photograph!
