Joseph, and any others who may have been dealing on the lens in question,
or, who have, by public and private email expressed disappointment in my
postings:

I at no time intended to cause any Leica -User grief. That this has occurred
is unfortunate. I wish I could say that next time I will behave differently;
but I cannot. I must confess that, if I had realised it was a retail outlet,
I might have said nothing. I think this reflects poorly on my character;
that I would think it would be okay to help an individual but not a
business. I certainly have learned a great deal today and hope not to learn
as much again for awhile.
