[Leica] Digilux 2 review pt posted - many samples

[bdcolen at earthlink.net (B. D. Colen)]

As the kids say - Whatevah. Anyone who cares to can read anything I've
posted and decide if I am as you describe me. For that matter, anyone
who cares to can compare our photography and decide which of us may be
in a better position, based on the quality of our work, to judge the
merits of equipment - because after all, isn't that what it's really all
about? :-)

Now I think you really starting to get it. The reviews stand on their
own, beautifully, and certainly don't need "unqualified 3rd parties" to
interpret them. Most of them are quite clear on their conclusions!

I stand corrected. Your constant, unending, negative, posts regarding
all things Leica R, or Leica D, or Leica Pricing are not "rants and
raves". They merely qualify as "rants".

On the other hand, your constant, continuous, repetitious, unending,
posts, enthralling us all with the "wonders" of Olympus digital (over
and over and over again) qualify as "rants and raves". I've been hoping
over the months and years that you would number them for us. This would
allow some of us slow on the uptake types to get your meaning much
quicker.

Here, is another example of how the proposed "Colen numbering system"
could come in handy. You could number this paragraph right up there in
your series, perhaps number 3 or 4 even! If I had a nickel for every
time I read this inane nonsense from you I'd out rank Bill Gates on
Fortunes annual People With Vaults Full of Too Money List. Some people,
those who can; Do. Other people, those who can't used to Teach. Now it
seems some of them hang around User Groups to Pontificate and Troll!

I don't know if Brian still has an open offer to provide free
enthusiasts lists like the LUG to all comers. If so, you could setup two
of them. With one you could pontificate on the wonders of "Non-Leica"
equipment, perhaps with a "Rant of the Day". The name "UNLUG" somehow
seems appropriate! On a second List, called perhaps the "REALLYUNLUG"
you could enthrall the subscribers with a "Rant & Rave of the Day" and
flack Olympus products at the same time.
