My understanding is that this was supposed to be a forum dedicated to sharing comments about leica R cameras, lenses and the photographs produced by the above. As such, I, at least, don't welcome political views and i consider their propagation through this medium to be inconsistent with the aims of this list. I refer to "masked thugs vandalizing Vancouver Olympic streets". Unless you've been chasing Asian gangs or bank robbers, this would seem to be a thinly-veiled reference to Olympic protestors. If you've got photographs to share; yes. Sharing your political views: non merci. Any more of this crap and I'll be outta here.

Douglas: thanks for posting the KCR link. I wouldn't have remembered that! Richard: I'll look into Flickr. I used the viso/65 for my girlfriend's ornamental grasses slide shows. Viso, slides, tripod, plants. . . way different than M, tri-x, handheld on the run, people as we are. Builds character. Richard: The LHS Rosenberg was someone else, probably someone with more social acumen. Marc, and others: Thank you for the compliments on the work. Iâ??ve lost the most recent comment(from David?) about B.C. list members. Itâ??s a smaller and smaller world, no? Now to get back to work, Fred ------ Unsubscribe or change to/from Digest Mode at:  http://www.lrflex.furnfeather.net/ Archives are at:   //www.freelists.org/archives/leicareflex/ __________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
