Not at all, Greg. First off, my comments, beliefs etc. are open to any
kind of questions anyone cares to raises. I am not questioning Tina's
beliefs. But as I have made quite clear here before, given that we are
all friends trading information, I think we should all know if that
information, or our opinions, could possibly influenced by commercial
considerations - given that there are some people on this list who do
speak on behalf of Leica, and engage in other activities for the
company. I am not judging such arrangements, and personally - not that
it matters to anyone else - don't see anything wrong with such
arrangements; I just think that they should be out in the open.

Which is why I have stated on several occasions that I have gotten
equipment from Olympus - including the digital E20 which I have been
doing some shooting with. ;-)
