Not until the correct time, as determined by consulting an officially certified Swiss chronometer. Now, we could further explore this and other topics of mutual interest once peace breaks out in full boring bloom on the PLUG, BLUG, BALUG and other hostile zones... Actually, since first picking up this thread earlier today, I have jumped in the car, drove 50 miles to the "Autumn Photo Fair" in San Jose, treated myself to a LN 5th version 50mm Summicron with detachable hood and focusing lever, ran into fellow BALUG member and rock 'n' roll photographer Jerry Haussler who was sporting a mint black enamel M4 around his neck like a jeweled neckace and carrying a brown paper sack full of old Nikon F2 stuff he had just bought, bought Jerry and me hotdogs and the world's most expensive cokes outside of Candlestick Park while we talked about how tense the LUG had become and maybe it was time to liquor everybody up again over dinner, drove back to pick up my daughter from her piano lesson, tried out my new lens by taking snaps of my daughter in the hardware store buying spray paint to use for refinishing her cello case, walked down our street with wife & daughter to check out the new neighborhood Thai restaurant for dinner, went to the video rental place to see if there was anything new worth watching, there wasn't, so I came home and logged on again, and all you worthy gents were still here having the same impassioned crazy cool arguments! Is this a great country, or what?!? Dazed and bemused in California, Peter.
