Anyone destroyed an EF 70-300mm L?

I Have One

I have one and have not tried to destroy it.

However, just a few things.

In Canon's wisdom the lens does not come with a tripod mount.

There is no Canon TC for that lens.

The design is such that I could not use the lens hand held without having my hand move the over-sized and ill-placed manual focus ring.

As a result I bought the tripod mount and learned to hold the lens so that the tripod mount keeps my hand from touching the focus ring.

Since I shoot wildlife and birds in flight, I'll be replacing the 70-300 with the 100-400 II when I get around to it.
