BD,

I don't think digital is the only reason. I think the reason is twofold: 
Leica hasn't come out with a digital M; and Kodak and Fuji haven't marketed 
some 
revolutionary film and printing system. The irony is that both Leica Solms 
and 
Nikon have some great film cameras on the market which folks are overlooking 
in their search for greener grass. Pun intended.

I think Brian has been very liberal in not estranging anyone.
