Ted may have his idiosyncrasies, many of which have to do with a generation gap, and others of which have to do with his not being an Amurkin, but there is no one who over the years has provided more useful information about photography using Leicas than Ted; no one who has offered more thoughtful, constructive, helpful criticism of our photography; no one who as done more to try to keep this runaway 18-wheeler, with its driver high on speed and booze, on the road. Yes, Ted is often politically incorrect, and sometimes downright offensive to some. But I, for one, think his positive contributions to this list far, far outweigh his "sins," and hope that he returns and returns soon. Driving him out, as some have just done, is a bit like throwing out of your house your grandfather, who put you through college and has always been there for you, because you thought his humor was offensive.

I suspect the slaves he was referring to are those who are slaves to their own maniacal stupidity -- of whom we have witnessed much these past couple of days here. Some of you folks need to get some serious medication, damn the cost.
