I must say that I am amazed at the reaction to Bob Maxey's comment about
Jap Optics. I'm sure here in England, taken in context, all but the most
unrealistically sensitive soul would find no offence in this reference.  My
fear is that in the UK we tend to follow trends generated in the US, this
does not bode well ...............  From a 'Limey', 'Brit', 'Pom',
