[Leica] RE: Amatuer Photography review of the R8& etc.

[Aubin <aubin@aa.net>]

Greetings all,

I too found the lack of good magazines in the UK to be frustrating,
why I had to go out and take pictures instead of reading about it!

I would return stateside every three months or so and stock up on a 
bunch; to save for reading on those rare rainy days.  I would have 
subscribed but knew that I had only a short time to enjoy in that
most lovely of counties.

One point though that I have observed in most magazines, or 
rather in readers looking at articles about their favorite pastimes.

It would seem that most are looking to see their own conclusions 
vindicated, and when they're not, we find fault with the reasoning 
of the authors.  Yet, if the author says what we already believed,
we look to memorize his 'facts' to further justify our already
reached conclusions.  It is only after we have found someone who
agrees with us about things we already 'know', so we then feel that 
this person or magazine is of sufficient quality, that we then look to 
see what they say about things we don't yet know.

Is this a normal human nature thing, or is the single malt making 
me cynical??
