Boris, your continuous line of negative BS is getting old. Unhappy people
seem to try to drag all others around them into the same dark place they
reside. You would be better served to try to improve your attitude. If you
are in a situation you don't like, there are three ways you can improve it:
(1) change it; (2) accept it; or (3) leave it. Hanging around and
complaining doesn't make anything better and makes things worse for those
around you. /jmac

Krabi is where you belong, you big crab. Everything was fine until you
showed up and started criticizing and finger pointing...you deserve that
snoring woman...:)
I was asking Mike about the Canon's 24mm tilt/shift lens which exists and
one can purchase it for around $1200 brand new from B&H. Not long ago I was
going to get into the system, just because of that lens (blasphemy).
I think in one of his posts he stated that its edge to edge resolution is
not as good as Zuiko's, did I understand that right, Mike?
Have fun with the margaritas in Thailand. I once knew Margarita and she was
fun, in addition to being one of the smartest and most beautiful women I
have ever known...

P.S. So, what are you doing on the 7th next month...since you said you
might have a few moments between drinks, you can come to our New England OM
meeting...Thailand, Rhode Island...same, see? Whaddaya say?

Well, sure, praise your SUV -- just not on the list, least you'll
summon the wrath of the list-mum....

Well sure, gun away to your fancy -- just not on the list, least you'll

Oval office? What oval office? Ohh, right, yeah....well, if you
absolutely *must* make a political opinion known, I'd suggest doing so
in your local community center, newspaper or (gasp) election. We're an
international list, so "oval office" makes sense only for a geographic
minority. Also, being an international list, whatever geopolitical
opinion one has, it's sure to go against the opinion of someone else --
with the ensuring flamefest. So I'd suggest taking that elsewhere too,
least you'll summon the wrath of.....well, you get the general idea
now, right?

Here's a tip: whatever you do, never trust advice given to a guy who
picks an email-address containing "Willie Wonka". If he does give you a
tip, doing the *opposite* of what he suggests is probably sound advice
;)

So let me get this straight: you want to slap a lens which doesn't
exist in front of your camera???? There's something I'm not getting
here ;)
