I can honestly say that *most* of the Leica equipment I have purchased
over the years has been expensive, but very well made with optics second
to none. Of course, I actually do my research FIRST by reading reviews
written by real reviewers who have tested the equipment and KNOW of what
they speak. Reviews written by pompous, bitter old fools who pick up
their poison pens to post continuous invective and bile to enthusiasts
lists in response to every product announcement by specific
manufacturers or review by independent reviewers I find both amusing and
Troll like!

Pavlov, if alive today, would surely recognize your posts as truly
Pavlovian! Pavlov rings a bell Fido salivates. Leica posts a product
update Colen rants and raves! F. Riper posts a review in the Washington
Colen raves and rants! Nothing informative or even new results; same
old, same old!!

Interesting comment, in that it proves my point! Ha Ha!

Ho hum. If you can't post a factual statement, why not post a baseless
opinion or guess.

I don't think they'd have you. I seriously doubt any company that became
aware of your inane "Agenda" and antics on the list is looking for
someone to represent them in any capacity other than representative
"Fool" at the Annual Village Fool convention!

When did you last use your Leica equipment since you posted sometime ago
that you didn't use your Leica equipment anymore? After all you have
that wonderful Olympus stuff they flipped you a dime to shill!

Keep posting to the list, you can die laughing
