Why should it be an issue.  Nobody is coercing anybody to buy anything.  A 
bank loan requires full disclosure to protect the consumer.  Same with real 
estate deals.  But a Leica list?  Buyer beware is still a rule that prevails. 
 To base one's decision to purchase based on opinions from an internet list 
is the height of foolhardiness.  Now if there is no purchase involved, why 
are disclosres necessary to validate whether the list members should agree 
with one lister's opinion or not?  Full disclosure to state an opinion?  
Isn't that the absolute inanity?  Some people have this uncontrollable urge 
to fire off their long list credentials before coming up with an opinion, as 
if it matters one whiff, when in fact the importance of what they have to say 
exists only in their own minds.
