Also unjustified is: the qualitity of Leica... or can you proof the quality?

Leica has a web-page so they show us that they are open to the net -
shouldn't somebody from Leica give us the facts? Wouldn't that be a proof
of a good service? Since Leica doesn't reply to mails this is a proof for
the bad Leica service - isn't it?


But maybe I didn't get the joke again.
