I'll confess to being a little concerned about those ordering 10 or 20 • copies
of particular sets.

No I don't.  And I rather resent you're assumption of the right to distribute
your (erroneous) opinions of my views.  The reference was in fact to people
who knew that the prices were wrong, but were still "trying it on" to a great

You are right to correctly identify the blue hopper saga as lying behind some

I had no part of that whole thread.

Take it that I'm extremely annoyed by the personal attack implied in your post.
