TS stands for Thread Starter, or the person who started this thread. wonglp asked you the question because you replied to zaren, who was just making a suggestion, but is not the TS. Also the TS said he would like recommendations on either Sony A6000, Panasonic GX8 or Olympus EM10Mk2. Your suggestion of Leica M is probably way beyond the TS' budget. As a forum moderator, wonglp has the right to make sure threads stay on track - the numbers of posts he has made is immaterial.
