Berube Well I can't see how the people on this list can't see the contrast between when people on this list used to sell stuff to each other and there was a feeling that we all knew each other and the safety and level of honest and fair business that implies and promotes. Later someone says "I'm using Tom's M3 and getting shots just like Tom" or some such thing. A url to Ebay is the opposite of that. "Welcome to the cold cruel world sucker." There are people on our list here who's main concern for the list is their unloading of continual Leica odds and ends, they may get sucked into certain issues to post about but they are here to move merch. The ebay of course has changed all that, they really don't need us but the perspective on the propriety on the list gets quickly lost. How dare we challenge anything that might in any way inhibit the moving of all this Merch.? It's an affront and slight on to the whole list. Mark Rabiner
