Here's a loose translation for you, Mark:

Owner trust OM4 spot meter, owner lose face.  Olympus never win face from
professional photographer.  Olympus lose face and bring disgrace upon
ancestors.  Must exit race to save ancestors.

No OM-X.  No OM-5d.  Release "second curtain" on OM history.  Exposure
complete.  Time to wind on.
