Does anybody think Leica were rather arogant in not changing the naming sceme for Ms?

As someone else posted, my M's were 16 and 60. Both were well made, handy to have, and fast "shutters":^)

Don't remember saying they couldn't.

But you are complaining anyway. Product naming is just about branding and marketing. It has very little to do with the actual product. At least the cameras are still actually made by Leica; there are plenty of products out there carrying names of companies that no longer actually make anything (in some cases the original companies went out of business and the names were picked up by other manufacturers).
