Not to jump into a sewer here...but....

Come on, Steve, lighten up...You're too serious a photographer, too giving a
member of the LUG, and basically too good a guy to jump on Simon this
way...If this list isn't for asking a lot of questions, what's it for?

And as to Leica books - I've been shooting for 41 years in a vaguely
committed way - my first camera was a beat-to-hell IIIc - and I've never
owned a "Leica book" and doubt that I ever will. In fact, the first
camera-specific book I ever bought was a recently purchased guide to the
F100 - and I bought that because I have 3rd party guides for all my
computers. :-)
