Mark, take a bit more time in what you quote. It's difficult above
to understand to whom you're responding. If it is me, then you're
putting words in my mouth. I said nothing about Leica-Users List
subscribers being angry or insecure. I didn't even remotely imply
such. Strictly your inference, old boy, and that smacks of anger
and insecurity.
*Another* paramilitary organization? There, you are clearly
implying that this is one. I think not!
