Horst Nothing at all is wrong with a balanced discussion of Leica, its equipment, the use of the equipment, and even of corporate policy. But Jim is right: DonJR is simply negative, negative, negative. He has attacked the quality of Leica equipment. He has denigrated every corporate decision ever made -- hell, if he had thought of it, he probably would have assailed Ernst Leitz II for hiring Barnack away from ICA. He has attacked quality control. He has attacked ... everything. DonJR has never had a single nice thing to say about Leica. He doesn't discuss: he hands down pronouncements about how awful everything connected with Leica is. Given his apparent attitude towards Leica and things Leica, Jim's question is dead on-target: if you dislike the system so much, why do you keep posting to a list of those who use the gear and are, all in all, happy with it? If DonJR wants to DISCUSS Leica, that's a different matter: but, to this point, he has shown no interest in this, but only in denigrating and attacking, and, from what I have seen, relying on invalid analyses and untrue claims.
