Paul, Larry:
Unlax, dudes. For some reason, you've managed to get each other's goat.
Personally, I don't have any problems with people piping up that the
equipment someone is thinking of buying is available from them, whether the
source be private or retail. Nor have I found Paul's ("Olympus Guy")
messages to be excessive. (Although I *am* surprised, after perusing his
Web site, that he doesn't seem to carry the Olympus Centurion... ;-) ) To
me, it's reasonably appropriate information, and if you don't like it,
e-mail has a wonderful quality -- you can always filter the unwanted
messages out using a variety of criteria. I'm sure some people are already
doing that with *my* messages, truth be told...
