I have just uncorked a bottle of Beaujolais Nouveau
and am raising a purple toast to you, B.D., on this
glorious day when we once again (after all too long)
find ourselves in utter agreement. Here's to looking
at  you, B.D.!

Bolting non-Leica SLR lenses onto an M strikes me as
even loonier than Solms reviving the rewind knob on
the new MP. 

But I do not begrudge Mr. Gandy earning a livelihood
via peddling to the soft-minded those products of some
adapter-mad netherworld.
