[Leica] enough with Olympus DSLR postings PLEASE

[bquinn at sgi.com (Barney Quinn)]

Keep the Faith! As they said in "The Lion in Winter," "What Family Doesn't 
have
its ups and downs?" Or, as the old tune goes, "Spring can Really Hang You up
the Most." Photography is neither dead nor dying. Changing? Sure. But that's 
a
good thing. More people than ever are making images. Everything goes in 
cycles,
including mailing lists.
