I don't believe either of us called him a liar... I said what is
coming from the comapny is BS...empty talk...
you called it gobbledy-gook...same in my book...
I must say he apparantly is a good politician... he has really sold
you...I can tell that and I'm not even his good buddy...
among other things he sold you an incomplete, and defective DMR...and
a lot of promises...
as I said, "good try Steven...a nice butter up job..."
but the sort of thing people, businessmen, politicians, doctors say
when they don't have anything to say, or they don't want to say
anything......
What I truly don't understand David is your apparant complacency and
support for a company that has failed you, and I mean you personally...
not me...
I am happy with my M lenses and M8... (and I have a bunch of R bodies
and lenses too...)
Your endless support and cozying up to these guys (you sure you don't
work for the company).... reminds me of finally released hostages of
an airplane hijacking who refer to their hijackers as really nice
guys...
truly nothing personal David, but I think they are taking you for a
long ride on a short pier...
Steve
