Subject: Re: Price for M6J Leica

Hubert,

I'll not repeat your excellent post re: subject, except to offer 
you a medal with oak leaf clusters for properly defining the very 
essence of a free market capitalistic economy. The bottom line, said 
by you, is there is no satisfying answer for all. Buy it or don't buy 
it as your mind dictates.

A personal note: I was in a line for some crazy reason at the LHSA 
conclave in Tucson last October when the mention of M6J was made by 
me to the person with whom I was speaking. The chap behind me heard 
it and said: "You want to see one"? With that he placed the strap of 
one around my neck and I hefted it, stroked it, advanced it, tripped 
it, and looked at it inside. NOW, I want one! I love my M6, but this 
is a cut above. Right now I can't afford it, what with getting used 
to a lesser retirement income, BUT, I'll find a way, eventually!

Is this a great economy or what?
