Frank is absolutely right about this. Last night I stopped by his place to
pick up a mono-rail service pack he had gotten for me and he showed me GB
#3. The amount of wheels in this box borders on the rediculous.
I saw GB #1 right out of the chute (from Larry P.) and GB #2 not long after.
My hopes for this project were high and I tried to increase the
value/content of the box each time I had it. Since I don't know what GB #3
looked like at the start it probably is unfair to say that all of the
previous recipients are guilty of wheel dumping but from the looks of the
box it sure appears that way. My advice to Frank was to pull some of the
wheels simply in the best interest of the project and add them to other
boxes as they (if they) come through the territory.
My $0.02, YMMV.
