The rest take the word of official sources or wait to be spoon fed something, or only go as far as their battaries will last, and ever get far away from a tele link for their precious digital cameras. Dave Barry once said news reporters were people who wouldn't believe the sun was rising unless they had an official source tell them, and he was right. We never see it more than today, where nobody knows what is really going on in the world because the news media is too lazy/chicken to find out. Nachtway is a rare exception. c trentelman In a message dated 10/3/04 7:08:42 AM, lug-request@leica-users.org writes: > > Wow.
