No, not at the moment, Alf...Always! Just telling it like it is and
not as the "arts and croissant" crowd think.

I don't believe that for a minute, Alf. If true, then it is misleading
as hell. If true, the opinion of many of the nations of the world would
be far better than the history of the nation shows. The favorite
composer of Hitler was Wagner! What could be more misleading?
Now, see folks, this is getting pretty far afield from Leica. Yet, only
8 people have responded privately with their interest in a photographic
philosophy list. Too few to pursue its establishment. And, it was
posted both here and on the Rollei List. If no more interest by the end
of this week, I'll abandon the idea.
