Enuf already. Gimmee a break. First, you can go see the image I posted without doing anything. I've posted in on our Web site, yes, and that's my choice. I can post the image anywhere I want. As you can post your images anywhere you like. Just because it's there, doesn't obligate you to do anything. If you want to guess or answer the questions posed with the image, that's your choice. No one is forcing you to buy anything to see the image, or to come back to the LUG and talk about the image, or do anything about it. At the same time, no one is forcing you not to talk about it, either, and it is a wonderful bit of history about Leica, and worth talking about. It's no worse than a discussion about 40 year old busted-up Lucas electronics, broken-down Minis, worn-out Hermes bags and ancient typewriters, and whatever the heck else, oh yes, German-made vs. over-the-border Bosch electronics, that the Forum busied itself with yesterday! I mean, good lord, let's have some fun! Why not? So I'm not going to fall all over myself apologizing about it. If you want to look at the picture and talk about it, fine. If you want to send me an email and tell me what it is, that's fine, too, and I'll actually pay you for doing it. That's my choice. Anyone else here could do the same thing to encourage the list members to look at their pictures. Offer a prize for doing so. Usually that isn't necessary, since the pictures are their own reward. (That's supposed to be a compliment). Maybe I should have announced it this way: "Your Presence at A Highbrow Discussion of Leica Collector Ephemera Requested." Yes, maybe that might have gone off better. Sorry. I chose the wrong model. It should have been Antiques Roadshow UK, instead of Wheel of Fortune. ;-) Kit - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
