Subject: [Leica] OT: Much-needed gap
From: nickbroberts at yahoo.co.uk (Nick Roberts)

The first reference to "a much-needed gap" I'm aware of is from the cever 
notes for the "Spinal Tap" album - "though neither a critics' nor fans' 
favourite, Tap continue to fill a much-needed gap", from memory. Sounds like 
a Marxism to me, though - anybody know better?

A friend of mine is fond of the construction, `thus-and-such clever
innovation "fills a much-needed gap"'.  I'm not sure where he originally
got it from.  Remarkably many gap-fillers don't listen closely enough to
realize they weren't complemented.
