Re: [Leica] Death and the Zoom Scandal

Hi Buzz,

My hand's up.
I like to know what happened, as I am fond of Joseph and Emmanuel,
through their postings on the LUG and also in dealing with Joseph when
I bought a lens from him.  Sure,  Emanuel has made a questionable move 
in pre-listing on ebay; he will undoubtedly hear about it from other folks 
for quite a while; if I ever buy from Emanuel (came close a couple of 
times), I would trust him now more than if this story didn't happen,
strangely enough.  Honor among thieves ? On the other hand, there 
are people that don't technically lie whom I absolutely do not trust.
On a diffrent but related thread, Seth posted on ethics, lies, etc.  
Well, I've lied to my teachers, parents, etc. countless times.  Perhaps 
I am part of "the" problem, but I see kids lying to parents, teachers,
 etc, as pretty normal.  I expect mine to lie to me sometimes.

So, Joseph, John, Emmanuel, Dan, let us know of any new twist
in the 35-70 story.  If I ever meet you guys, I'd buy you a drink,
(and give Emanuel a hard time about ebay :0)

PS. Emanuel, I trust but I also verify :-)
