One man's insult is another man's survival.

Survival is #1 on the hit parade......

And I do not consider it a veiled or otherwise insult.... it is a strategy
for survival.  How many times do you feel Hermes will dump $$$ into Leica
before it gives up?

BTW, an interesting side note is the number of prototype and really odd
Leica lenses and special body parts that have suddenly appeared on Ebay.....
all from German sellers....  Reducing inventory to raise cash can be done in
many ways,,,,,

This tread is just an thinly veiled insult to Leica. This time the Leica
CAMERA BODY.
I'm sure it's as obvious and likely that Leica make glass for Canon as it is
Canon make glass for Nikon. Or Pentax make glass for Minolta. The people
involved would all consider it an insult.
