[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Dear Scott, I generally don't respond frequently, especially to posts such as yours, however, in this instance I simply had to write. Frankly, I find your post "distasteful." I'm not sure what you intended when you wrote that "the historical aspect of Leica culture sucks" but I've had just the opposite reaction. Indeed, since I've inherited my Opa's Leica camera (yes, he was a distasteful German) I've been thrilled with the many, many helpful and interesting responses that LUG members have sent me about Leica, history, etc.... As a young person, I very much enjoy learning about the past, both the good and the tragic, and your comment seems to me, a slap in the face to the many users of this site. I am also sorry you find the whole "German" thing distasteful as well. There is no denying the tragic events of history, but as part German (and part American), I find even the "current" events of today frequently distasteful. If you find Germany and Leica so offensive, please consider using another camera (perhaps a disposable one so there is no historical culture attached) and joining another group. I will not miss you. auf wiedersehen.... chris ________________________________________ PeoplePC Online A better way to Internet http://www.peoplepc.com
