Hi Marty,
But if one is a Leica user with several bodies and lenses and has no idea 
about, nor even understands the word and effect of "Bokeh?" Does that mean 
if it happens? His or her photos aren't going to be any good?

In all my years of shooting long before I joined the LUG, I never ever knew 
nor do I ever recall hearing or reading the word "Bokeh!" I of course was 
quite surprised to learn it was such a terrible effect for some users! So I 
began looking for the demon Bokeh to show it's face in my photographs many 
many times. As yet it hasn't revealed it's vile effects for me to recognize 
or be concerned with to date.

Still haven't found it and dismissed it "as one of those things guys chat 
about!" Instead of out shooting interesting photo moments. My major concern 
in being a photographer has always been?? 

"THE CONTENT AND DOES IT KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF CAPTURING THE PRECISE MOMENT 
IN TIME WITH THE GREATEST EFFECT!" CLICK!  Game over! Bokeh????????????

cheers,
Dr. ted :-)
