[Leica] Coenen to step down

[gregj.lorenzo at shaw.ca (GREG LORENZO)]

No confusion. Coenen is gone too.

I mentioned on the list back in January when he was appointed that I found 
his formal training/skill mix at odds with what Leica was trying to do.

In the oil business you appoint a geologist if you want your company to 
grow, an engineer if you want to increase production from developed lands 
(i.e. milk the cow) and a lawyer or accountant if you wish to attract 
investors or sell the company outright.  

Regards,

Greg
