Hi! I read a lot here. Almost all of my knowledge and interests about Ms come from these postings (thanks, Tony). Every morning, every evening. There have always been things I look for most, like details on lenses, accessories and composition etc, although there are things I don't read very much, like M7 stuff. My \Leica's directory has 25 MB worth of 200 files here. So this archive saves me lots to read and re-read, even on vacation. Some things I love reading over and over. These are not just entertaining, they are also really informative! Like Al's

What is the dumbest thing you've done in photography?

Or like Mani's

I like unique juxtapositions and these two thread are pretty funny in the contradictions of the original poster's questions. The first one brings back some fine memories of how things were in the "good old days" here.

I just noticed..how very ungracious of me! The very kind Michael Kastner's threads come ahead of all of those, of course ;-)

I like it all, really, from "should I use a UV filter" to "Rob is such an arrogant bastard" (which nobody can deny...!)

Sorry, Tony - Rowlett, of course. It's too early to be typing...

Mani: cut it out, I'm not ahead of anybody here, I'm behind you all! Rob: my only Leica site too. Haven't been to any of the others for ages, not even Leica itself (German or English). Everybody else: okay, if you don't have a fave, which one do you hate most? Hmmm??

I was very glad to see Tony delete the religion question so quickly.
