Apparently we're supposed to all be greatly impressed by this kind of 
continuous anti-Leica ranting and raving, which has continued for at least 
the last 3 years on the list, because the poser posts a PAW. I believe most 
people are more impressed by what you ARE rather than what you POST.

I'm not impressed at all by people who continually shout 'FIRE!' in a 
crowded theatre.
