Had I seen that article in 1999 I might have discovered Leica and my favourite veteran Canadian photojournalist much sooner ;-) I do have your Art of Observation DVD, Women in Medicine and Real Photographers Shoot B&W books plus of course our two shared Leica Photographers books. I can also look at my wall on any day and see you hanging next to Ansel Adams and Doug Herr. Careful perusal of any of those will teach anyone far more about photography than any magazine of technical articles and essays! I'm just guilty of also enjoying all of the technical stuff as well as I learn along the way!
