Sorry Steve, I wasn't in a caf? then.
Caf? du Commerce is just a way to express that the lively chat one's 
engaged in can be stopped at any time, resumed the next morning, and 
last forever.
People in Caf?s usually start up a conversation with total stangers, the 
"thread" is then taken on by those who stay longer, and the same 
predictable arguments surface at regular intervals.
When you next go back to France, try this; get a newspaper and a caf? or 
else at the counter and listen: it's real fun observing the well oiled 
mechanics of caf? du commerce conversations :-) .
I enjoyed the same feeling when I was a "regular" at The Yatch in 
Bexleyheath, England, too long ago (sighs)

My cheeky remark was in no way meant to be offensive at all as I find 
the thread really interesting and I'm glad Philippe started it for I 
discovered a lot, not only about photography, but also about the rest of 
the LUG family's approaches to it.
My answer to you is BTW part of the whole caf? du commerce process LoL.

Bien amicalement
Ph
