And here I was thinking I was the only vain person. Beauty marks are vanity! I thought it was 'who cares how it looks, it's how it works and the person behind it' So 'brassing' aka plain old wear. Or marking up plastic, doing whatever, doesn't matter. Anyhow, I don't keep the cameras long enough anyhow to care how they look used.
Another email from the other side, who cares little of the minor vocal list tow the line or we'll insult ya group, but represents the view of 80% of list ppl ;-) I'm a crusader, like the guys who ran around and got killed because the earth moved around the sun, not the other way around. Folks get so mad, "you upset me, I kill you for radical and non-conforming". Of course we are talking Japanese products here. Whoa Nelly!?! Who let the 's**t' fly?!
