[LargeFormat] Roman numerals on Zeiss barrel lenses

[Stuart Phillips]

Well fighter pilots kills people; I try to avoid surgeons with the same
aims.

"Even some Libertarians have libertarian values." - a totally meaningless
statement if ever I read one.

 "The justice system works only when very dedicated people MAKE it
work,..." - the legal system in this country (much like the political and
medical systems) does NOT work. So called plea-bargaining where you are
punished for demanding a trial is but one example of  a system which has
been perverted largely by lawyers (in the guise of trial lawyers, judges and
politicians) so that they can increase their work flow. It certainly has
nothing to do with the English system of justice past or present as many
like to suggest.

"What he has undertaken is an indication of his humanity. " - is he working
pro bono?

Yes, it's tempting to want a thread to end when you have had your say.  So
let it end as I have had mine :)
