Sometimes not getting an angel-blessing (just a five star rating and a fav.) can be a great wake-up call. :) I agreed: this was a 5-star lens, not yet worth an angel blessing.

Everything in it is true, and only the humor with which it is written makes it at all palatable for for Dutch people themselves.
