Bruce I don't quote full numbers and I suspect other don't from a long
tradition going back to long before the internet of it being done that
way. I suspect it probably originated from not wanting to put a legitimate
number up for an expensive lens or camera, having some one record that
number and then make a fraudelent insurance claim, but that is just my
thinking, maybe others can enlighten us. Maybe Marc is secretly collecting
all those Zeiss and Rollei numbers to precipitate the largest insurance
fraud ever before heading to the Cayman Islands ;)
