From you or by you? Probably not, but it spoke for the community at large. We were upset. Personally I think Leica did a dummy with their policy to restrict parts sales. But we ( LUG and LHSA) have differed before with Leica, been vociferous, and lost the battle. This time we won. ( Personally I think Leica USA and Worldwide also won). But something made them see our opinion. It could have been opinion, it could have been the threat of legal action by Don, Sherrie, et al, or it could have been that top management got involved, and decided that lower management was wrong in their original decision to restrict. Surely, we will never know. But WE all won. Leica and the consumer. Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
