Somebody said rough drafts are garbage and this certainly reads like a
rushed off first draft written with the Jets game going on the TV.
He explains how the latest M the M9 evolved from all previous ones.
But then states that the whole concept is antiquated.
HE DOES NOT LIKE THE M RANGEFINDER.
Why write the article?

To his credit he does not totally put his foot in it and lamely state the M9
should be auto focus*

Then he has the WHAT WE NEED section:
And doesn't tell us. Anything. Nothing.
And talks about the S2 but never states how the M9 could have been a better
camera.

I found the article says nothing.
Written with the Jets game on the TV going.
I think he wants to stay in that game so Leica keeps sending him an M9's to
play with.
I think he would be best sticking to reviewing off brand inkjet printers
nobody with any sense is going to buy.

And should put his name at the top of the page.
