With all due respect, Lynn -- your comments, 
while valid (as usual) are beside the point.

I could, if I chose to, indulge in all sorts 
of brand-bashing.  I've tried to stay on good 
behavior and avoid that.  It serves no purpose.

Whatever my issues may be with Nikon -- 
and I've been very blunt about them -- 
I've learned nothing on this list that 
will help me deal with those issues.

Where I've discovered problems with my 
Nikon, and subsequent workarounds, I've 
shared this knowledge with the list.

A discussion on technical merits is 
what I expect. Recitations of unfounded, 
inflammatory opinions, alleged regional 
allegiances, pop-psychology and broad 
generalizations serve no useful purpose.
