I believe John has hit the proverbial nail right on the head on this one.
This IS a public form for persons interested in Leicas and related
photographic issues. This is not simply an FS bulletin board, another EBay.
Rather, it is a place where net.friends gather to share a common interest.
That said, if a member of the group thinks one member of the group is
offering a piece of equipment for sale at a price that is really out of
line, doesn't he actually 'owe it' to the rest of the group to say so?

If you post on a public forum, then do not be surprised if the public
responds.
