Holy cow, Winsor! Lighten up. It's photography, not religion, not even
politics, philosophy or even astrology. If you get that worked up and
frustrated over such a minor thing as some perceived slight of half-plastic
cameras or about someone's less than enthusiastic acceptance of what you
ridiculously denominate "the most significant development in photographic
equipment in over a [sic.] 100 years," then it must be really awful to be you.
Take your meds and call for an appointment in the morning.

the rest
