Andreas, thank you for your transparency. It’s always the best course to sail the straightest line. Although I am relatively new to the forum, I feel a deep sense of gratitude for all that I have been able to absorb and learn from the many learned, insightful and frankly gifted members. I believe you manage to steer a course that continues to keep the independence and integrity of the forum in place while keeping it within the Leica umbrella. As a forum member and one that has made a sizable investment in both the community and Leica equipment, I wonder how the members can add more value to you, the forum and the Leica family. Again, I’m conscious of the myriad of opinions that circulate on the forum, but as with any gathering of persons, it is always the texture of the dialogue, not just the content, that matters. My goal here is to thank you and to find a way that we as members can be helpful to you and therefore also serve our own ends. Continued good luck and all the best. Ben
