Walt, I know this is inscribed on the secret, REAL LEICA PHOTOGRAPHER stone 
tablets
Thou shalt not use a tripod. I think it comes after Thou shalt only use 
black and white film and soup it in XTOL.
However, I think there is absolutely nothing at all wrong with obtaining the 
steadiest possible position for the sharpest possible
image, where appropriate for the situation. All of that glorious Leica glass 
with superb resolution and correction deserves a chance
to show what it can do.
There, I've outed myself as happy to use the support (AND I love colur) when 
I want the best possible output!
Cheers
Hoppy
