Ye Gods, Tom, it is NOT disregard! Look, I'll make youse a deal!
BUT, ya gotta promise to rest this thread until the 'deal'.
Deal is: At the first opportunity that participants of this list have
a chance to get together, in reasonable numbers, and I'm in
attendance, I'll give you my late model lenses for you to test
clean in the fashion described by others here. Then inspect by
oblique lighting with a loupe and see if any harm was done.
Only stipulation is that I may inspect the wiping material prior to
the test just to satisfy myself that none of you monkeys have
imbedded sandpaper in same to rig the test. If Sherry does the
cleaning, I wont even insist on the inspection!
