The best way to win a political argument on the LUG is to post your 
pictures. I don't think of people here as left wing or right 
wing, I think of them as good photographers, beginning photographers, 
valuable teachers, equipment packrats, generous sofa-lenders, 
experts on Leica lore, resources for Pizio printing and the like -- what 
someone's politics are isn't really worth much on a list 
about photography. i'm a bit baffled as to how a thread entitled "1936 
Sumicron" turned into a pitched battle and I'm sure it'll be 
fodder for some grad student somewhere writing about civility and written 
discourse at the beginning of the 21st century (i was 
ignoring the whole thing because i don't have a 1936 sumicron) -- but I can 
say that in my experience, the best response to:


So if anybody's got photos they've taken with their 1936 Summicron, let's 
see 'em.

I'm just sayin....
