Edwin Puts was on the LUG for many years and many of us will personally
vouch for his integrity. Which of course needs none. He is a recognized
optical expert. Is known to at times shoot with Canon cameras and lenes. And
deserves to not have his professional integrity put to question or otherwise
casually thrown up for grabs.
Just as much as you'd not deserve to have your broker professionalism
casually thrown up for grabs by a bunch of financial trading dabblers..
