Jon;
Ending it is fine with me (I thought it had ended several days ago), as I
said in my email to her "Leave me alone and I'll leave you alone." I don't
remember her posts, except for the two in which she, paraphrasing, called me
an "idiot spouting drivel". She may be 100% right! :>) But I gotta at least
respond!
George - done now with the drivel we hope.
PS pet rock or cat, I was just trying to think of something as useful as a
Leica to an OM user. I couldn't think of anything as *expensive*. (These
are the jokes, son)
