Good morning Crew,

I'll go along with the freedom of voicing our opinions on what appears as
one more stupid move by Leica during the past decade. But if the world gave
Oscars for sheer utter stupidity it would definitely be Leica, it's owner
and marketing staff for this moronic offering.

 

But the very sad part of it is.. "We are wasting OUR most valuable time
tapping keys throwing away our precious lifetime hours regarding this
asinine concept.

 

I'd rather see the days with everybody shooting Friday Flowers than this
utter drivel about Leica and it's dead brained collection of mental midget
fools! One would think by now, we'd have learned any announcements regarding
Leica would immediately be deleted because we already know it's going to be
another dumb ass concept! But then we Leica lovers are known for our
faithfulness in being beaten with a .. "Your choice!"

 

An early morning thought as the coffee hasn't kicked in yet.. probably a
good thing! :-)

 

Dr. ted.
