[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Edwin Puts was on the LUG for many years and many of us will personally vouch for his integrity. Which of course needs none. He is a recognized optical expert. Is known to at times shoot with Canon cameras and lenes. And deserves to not have his professional integrity put to question or otherwise casually thrown up for grabs. Just as much as you'd not deserve to have your broker professionalism casually thrown up for grabs by a bunch of financial trading dabblers.. - - from my iRabs.
