Hey, Dr. T:

It's amazing how on probably one of the "WORLDS" most intelligent,  
logical
internet sites where generally the conversations cover more common sense
topics than any other sites. When most of the time it's about the Leica
camera, where the owners of said producing company do not likely give a
flying hoop what anyone on this list says.

Naw! Don't give me the BS line they read it! Hell if they did read it,  
you
guys wouldn't have a damn thing to whine about because the company  
would've
fixed everything you guys bitch about every time they make some kind  
of move
in production! Hell most of you can't afford what they sell anyway, so
what's the big deal?

Some of you folks get your under shorts or whatever other garments you  
wear
in a great big knot because:

A/ there's too much traffic!

B/ too much about other stuff!

C/ politics, when on this particular occasion it happens for the good  
of the
world!

D/ Just bitch about living at times!

Some of you have absolutely no appreciation what is freely handed to you
each and every morning you turn on your computer!

That Brian Reid hands you free of charge, because he's an all round  
super
nice guy who gives of his life and funds of livelihood so many of you  
can
learn, have fun, become better people, see the world from many aspects  
that
you'd never in a lifetime on your own. And the list of potential  
learning
things possible is endless! Thank you once again Brian, mon ami.



OK so now I've given you something else to whine and bitch about don't  
hold
back get it off your chest and hopefully you'll feel better! :-)



ME? Hell I don't care as I'm always learning something about being a  
better
photographer, digital technician and that there are lots of nice folks  
out
there in the cold cruel world I'd sure as hell like to shake hands with,
meet face to face, break bread with and share a fine glass of wine on  
this
list.



So the USA elected and held an inauguration of their new President. To  
me
watching, it's a wonderful thing for the world as a whole, not just  
the USA.


And just because a great number of equally pleased folks as myself, a
Canadian who enjoyed the day and event. I don't see it as a too much  
traffic
topic! Besides for those of you who didn't know, we Canadians are  
basically
blood cousins to the Americans who felt elated and voiced their  
excitement
and pleasure about it.



So get over it, just be damn glad you live in a country, whatever it  
maybe,
where you can freely use the internet without the local officials  
kicking in
your door and knocking yer head off! It's like the most enlightening  
day in
the world since the Berlin Wall came down. Enjoy it for what it is and  
means
to the world! Our local photo traffic will quietly slip back to it's  
photo
stuff shortly.



So OK rant off, yer turn.. go for it! Just remember I'm smiling and not
going anywhere cause I love you all! Have a nice day!!  Man doesn't that
just bug the hell out of you! :-)
