I'm not on the Rollei List, and it may be very certain that the list owner has good intentions and that this is some sort of contortion. There is no intention on my part to intercede on a reciprocity as such. However who is it that is making this 'public'? In any case, just a few snips shows fractious and antipathetic reproach. The choice of words are not simply 'undemocratic'. It serves as a fine catalyst for further rank and sort. A great reminder, and very good for Leica/Rollei.
