(...) You know, part of my reason for being so free about trading on LUGNET is that I know what the general cost of being a weenie to regulars here is: censure from this community. I don't know about you, but LUGNET is such a big chunk of what (...) (25 years ago, 1-Dec-99, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)
