Just trying to help.

Please don't try to be a mediator.

Phillip was told that we are more than willing to loan him a camera to tesdt.

All he has to do is go to a local dealer in Boston and that dealer will
arrange for the loan to go through and the dealer will be responsible for
the equipment while it is loaned to Phillip.

The dealer has agreed to this and Phillip has refursed to do this.

For your information why this is necessary we are missing 2 complete 6008i
outfits that have been loaned to members of the press in 1997. Neither
system has been returned. We also lost a Linhof M679 to a magazine that
dropped in onto a concrete floor.

If an Phillip wants to test a camera all he has to do is contact the dealer
and he will promptly receive a system..

Perhaps you would like to remind Phillip of this policy since you seem to
want to become involved. It isn't a difficult policy for him to adhere to.

Bob
