I feel the sort of betrayal you seem to feel Phil, but it comes not from the people who actually use a leica, it comes from those that just talk about it... some of us shot with a Pentax Spotmatic and one lens for thirty years ... worked and saved for most of our lives, so that one day we could buy a used M6...I remember so well that feeling. I don't always indicate what equipment I use to make a particular image, usually it doesn't matter, clearly most can't tell anyway, and especially so with web images. So tell e'm you used a leica, or a pentax, make something up, or don't tell them... Use your equipment well Phil, whatever that may be, but take photos, show them...don't just talk about them. Many here are really paying attention, some are listening only to the sound of their own voices... Steve
