You're a funny guy, Joe. I like that. Before I retired from academia, and during one of the last division meetings I chaired, I recall a lady dean saying, "Oh, I'm so pleased we're all finally networking together."
I left the meeting and headed for the nearest bar.
I'm having a russian camera GAS attack. Just bought a FED-2, am dickering with Alex to exchange the Industar 26M (2.8/52mm) for a collapsible Elmar clone, and Sockeyed just told me I should have gotten a Zorki 4 because it has a better viewfinder. Plus I bought a Jupiter-8 for my Bessa R.
Clearly, there's no end to this. At least I'm not playing with Leicas. As my girlfriend so eloquently stated it one evening after sitting with me as I surfed ebay Leica auctions, "You get into those things, we'll be making our own lentil soup and buying day-old bread, at which point I'm hitting the road." She has such a way with words...
