I didn't mean that I don't sympathize in general with them -- I think that they provide a useful service to those who are willing to pay a premium, and they're just trying to make a living, etc. Rather, my comment in which I said that I don't sympathize with them was in reference to their complaints about Leica lowering prices. Companies have to lower prices sometimes. This is simply a reality of the market, and manufacturers like Leica would go broke if they could not react to currency fluctuations.
