Perhaps, Gary,

But your comment, "It's your kind of facile speculation about issues and
situations to which none of us are privy" also describes about 98% of
the discussion on this list regarding Leica Solms and its corporate
enterprise, which doesn't prevent you and many others from going on
about it at extraordinary and often tedious length.

If we were collectively to confine ourselves to discussions of what we
actually *know," then the LUG will soon come to resemble little more
than especially affected FAQ.

Speaking of which, my CV 28/1.9 has developed an annoyingly stiff focus.
I tried the lighter-fluid solution, but it made no improvement.  Does
anyone know of someone who can do a quick and dirty CLA of the helicoid
and a relube to adjust the focusing tension?  I don't need a rocket
scientist or a Wetzlar-trained elf to do this, just a competent
technician.  I'd do it myself, but I've got to many projects on the
bench as it stands.

TIA,

Chandos

How do you know that Mrs. Shell wasn't as you say "voting with her feet"
before any of this went down?  The marriage could have been a sham, a
volatile mix, a sterile match winding down for years, whatever.  It's
your
kind of facile speculation about issues and situations to which none of
us
are privy that are much more inappropriate to this forum (or any forum)
than
Shell's legal counsel making a few abstruse comments about the case.
