Buddy is a great guy. He once offered up a set of diopters for the old
eyecup which someone had given him. I jumped at it, and he sent me the
bunch gratis. Wouldn't even let me pay the postage. That kind of behavior
characterizes this list at its best IMO. He's a real gentleman, and while I
disagree with him about Tom, it doesn't change my opinion of him. I figure
he has a right to state his opinion, and I can state mine. In the end, Tom
will have to make a decision that suits his comfort level because there
will be disagreement about this kind of thing.
