And understand I have some friends that have no problem buying goods over the net and putting there support out the window. As for myself a Leica USA dealer , and a Leica User for the past 20 years , I honestly can see both sides , Cheers Raymond H Nason The Camera Company Inc. - ----- Original Message ----- From: Jerry Lehrer <jerryleh@pacbell.net> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Saturday, February 08, 2003 2:18 PM Subject: Re: [Leica] Warranty Issues > Bryan and Austin > > Have you noticed that it is the Leica DEALERS that are > pushing the Passport Plan.
