I wrote the initial "Leica QC" message to the LUG as a comment of the other Leica QC threads that kept on popping up. I'm was getting pretty sick of the simple-minded, counter-factual reasoning that goes on in these Leica QC threads, so I wrote this as a humorous take on the whole situation. I'm still convinced that Leica owners, by and large, spend waaaay too much time fussing over their equipment instead of just dealing with any problems (which anything manufactured has) and taking pictures. I mean, it's no more unreasonable to think that spending an absurd amount of money on a camera/lens is going to make you immune to manufacturing/ packaging/shipping/or any other kind of failure, than it is to assume that spending the same absurd amount of money on a camera/lens is going to make you a brilliant photographer. My apologies to Vick Ko: while the initial joke was made funnier by the fact that he rose to the bait, I feel that I may have inadvertantly made him look bad publicly. That was never my intention to anyone.
