Just think, you could save yourself some typing time by digging up all your past rant and rave posts and substitute "Canon" or "Nikon" or "Pentax" for Leica! > >Does that make me a "malcontent?"

I suggest you reread some of your posts to this List and it will become apparent as to what makes you a "malcontent".
