I have a little story . . .

As some of you know, I just added a Leica M6 page to my camera leathers site.  
It generated alot of traffic. . .and some heat.  I have only myself to blame; I 
deliberately "baited" the line with the most garish stuff I had on a like-new 
black body (loaned to me by OM-user Marc Attinasi.)

Most of the emails were friendly and witty, but the ugliest was a nasty swipe: 
He said my page was "disgusting". . . "You should be ashamed of yourself" for 
this "crap".  It was unsigned.

It took Google about 1/60 sec. (OM content) to tell me a couple of things:

1) This fellow is an authorized Leica USA dealer.

2) He has for sale a Special Edition snake-skin Leica for US$ 5,000.00

I sent him a polite but terse reply exposing his hipocrisy.  To his credit, he 
apologized and gave a reasonable account of his position.  We parted peacefully.

Never use your regular email address to send a nasty "anonymous" message!
