See it as statistics Sonny,
looks like Leica owners/users also have similar tastes in music - we 
could just as well be reading about the relative merits of III Bs to III 
Gs and  much better results by means of 
aspherical/coated/uncoated/wide/telephoto lenses,  and no real 
difference to the  posts about bokeh that turn up every now and again 
either - and sometimes go on, and on, and on, and on....


As to Paul Potts - I simultaneously admire and feel sorry for him, 
victim in the first instance of an educational establishment not 
prepared to recognise and sponsor immense talent, and secondly a victim 
of the media who are now exploiting that same talent - he's going to 
lose out at the end whichever way you look at it.
As soon as the media/recording companies/agents etc have creamed off 
their benefits from his success no one will want to know him and I'm 
pretty sure his talent will soon experience its limitations - voice 
training at his age would most probably ruin the wonderful voice he 
already possesses.
Though I do now wonder if Placido Domingo would be a success selling 
phones :-)
Best from the land of Bach, Beethoven, Brahms and even Karl-Heinz 
Stockhausen
