The sort of "fraud" which has been spoken of in this thread has presumed an intent to operate in bad faith. There has been no showing that anyone here operated "in bad faith" though many have jumped to that conclusion. Certainly, there has been no showing at all that Emanuel Lowi operated in any sort of bad faith -- he was clumsy in arranging an e-Bay auction and, shucks, folks, this is true for a LOT of us, myself included. Emmanuel is a most ethical individual, as is Dr Yao. I cannot speak for the store in Canada but, by everything shown here, they were simply guilty of clumsily handling a transaction. I suspect at least one of the heavy posters on this thread, an attorney, lives in an ivory tower and does not regularly practice in courts of law with matters such as this. I do -- after all, Rumpole is simply a slightly older British clone of me, and I HAVE been described as "a Roanoke City Courthouse hack" by one learned Judge with an acute interest in the varied career of that noted English barrister -- and, at least in the US, the Judge would simply ask all concerned why his time was being wasted? Lowi would get a judicial butt-chewing for being clumsy, the Canadian dealer would get a judicial butt-chewing for being clumsy, and Dr Yao would receive the condolences of the Court. Then, the case would be dismissed, and Yao and Lowi and I would adjourn to an appropriate venue to chug some plonk and discuss the vagueries of Leica. Can we just let this one rest? The bitterness is becoming more than a bit unsettling. Marc msmall@roanoke.infi.net FAX: +540/343-7315 Cha robh bas fir gun ghras fir!
