Caution post contains sarcasm.

Its a conspiracy!
Careful analysis will reveal a connection to a Fibonnaci sequence revealing
what Barnack intended to be a proper format of 24mm x 38.8328mm
It demonstrates clearly that Leica is ripping off customers by not replacing
everyone's lenses with the new models for free when they are released
The M9 was mentioned as a portent of doom in Nostradamus prophecies
Climate change was caused by Solms gnomes
The new Mac software issues prove that Microsoft is in league with Dracula
