Don, Thank you. >>>>>This exchange, and others like it, are symptomatic of the quagmire inherent in the US actions. Whether you agree or not, I personally find it upsetting that this forum should be used for anyone's off topic political or personal agenda. Can we nip this in the bud before it gets really ugly and we create permanent animosities among our members? Please, find another venue for venting your respective spleens. We are an international photographic forum. Let's talk about things that are pertinent. I would rather see the Nikon/Canon battles than any jingoistic or nationalistic crap being floated around. Don Roberts<<<<< I found myself being caught up in this rant and put a stop to it when I did, and apologize to the list of my off topic behavior. Take care, Gregory david Stempel FIREFRAMEi m a g i n g
