G'day Alastair,
I trust you're already enjoying your Christmas Day on the future side of the 
planet ! ;-)

Me? I can hardly wait for the white haired & bearded old fellow to come down 
the chimney! ;-)

I figure this is the 75th Christmas for me and the excitement of it all is 
still there! :-) Heck if not, how boring it would be. But I love the 
children and their excitement at what it is. Worth every minute of watching 
them during the final days before the big one. :-) You can feel the 
excitement growing. :-)

Yep when you started FOM2 who would've ever thought we'd see a digital 
avalanche as we've seen. Let alone the marrying of Leica lenses and Canon 
digital bodies at the numbers we see these days. Which I think will evolve 
faster this New Year quicker than the last.

And if you weren't such a common sense logical chap accepting the advances, 
it would be a shame to discount photography simply because it wasn't a 
"Leica lens and body." Instead of what we see, a lens mix and match with 
digital body of these days. Certainly when so many say.."Well it's the lens 
that counts the most with any Leica camera anyway!"

Not to worry about the voting commitment, I'm as steady as rock and looking 
forward to this year's selection.

Have a wonderful day and Christmas dinner. Oh you may have already had it! 
;-) Therefore I trust it was wonderful.
