They certainly are not as vocal as Kit, but they certainly do contribute to the list. For example, I well remember Rich's given us his learned opinions on high-end scanners; and his behind the scene helping Brian Reid with the computers to host the LUG. I like Kit's style, and would not hesitate to drink whiskey with her. But she's not the only dealer worthy of consideration. Competition is good. :-) - - Phong > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of Jerry > Lehrer > Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2003 12:30 AM > To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > Subject: Re: [Leica] The LEICA DIGILUX 2 is announced > > > Mark > > Since when has Hermes seen the need to compete pricewise with what > they must consider "lesser folks"?
