BD,

We are all aware of this issue; you have made it clear to the group more
than a number of times. Why not let it go. Does it bother you that much? I
for one am tired of hearing it every time the Digilux is mentioned, and Tina
makes a positive comment about it, Boom, here come bd, to tell us that Tina
might be biased. It's old.

It's quite simple, Greg - although if you had bothered to read the time
on posts you would have seen that this discussion had only ended, it had
long ended in far more calm and collegial way than that in which you've
decided to revive it...

The point is that as we are constantly giving each other advise
regarding commercial products - and many of us are factoring that advice
into purchasing decisions - its really nothing more than simple good
manners to tell each other if we have what might be perceived as
conflicts of interest.

BTW, Chris, all I've suggested is that we be upfront. Not that I have
any power over anyone; not that this is my list; not that I make the
rules. All I did was ask a few questions and make a suggestion.I wonder
if you've ever given any thought to the possibility that an outburst
such as yours - with its offensive religious references and hectoring
tone - could lead one to wonder why you find the idea of being upfront
with people so, uh, troubling?  ;-)

Best,

B. D.

No your not, your doing something infinitely worse. By your words and 
innuendo YOU are implying that Tina has an ulterior motive for posting 
her opinion and experiences.

My point exactly. This isn't the Journal of the American Medical 
Association or even Consumer Reports and you're are not Mike Wallace 
doing a segment on Sixty Minutes! Its the Leica Users Group and we don't

need a self appointed policeman. If you, or anyone else, wishes to 
disclose that they have received a camera, lens or some other trinket 
from Canon, Fuji or Leica that's their business.

What I'd like to know is why YOU think that YOU need to come charging 
into ongoing discussions like Christ to cleanse the Temple and suggest 
that there is something disreputable about a person because they haven't

disclosed something that YOU believe is germane?

At best this type of behavior is bad manners.

Regards,

Greg
