Vick it is because you and lots of other people have heard of it on the
internet that Stefan Daniel has made this personal statement on the L Camera
Forum. He had actually made a comment there on this back in November when a
few of these reports surfaced.

It's a tough life, to be a product company, indeed! I think that they've
been smart and honest and shown that they do listen to their customers too.

Cheers
