(...) My apologies. It read just like something Eric would write. (...) Do you use statements like "You repeat your childishness to no effect." in your professional capacity? I certainly hope not since that is one of the least professional responses (...) (20 years ago, 12-Aug-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

I just finished making one of these. (URL) it is huge, and quite well detailed. I usually don't give MB a second glance, but this was 16 bucks (usually 50 at Toys R Us) at a discount store, so I got it. It was a good build, and it's nice that it is (...)

(...) The problem with Shipping costs is that they very rarely cover just shipping. Also included are the costs of packaging, warehousing, handling, etc. "Shipping Cost" really isn't an accurate description. There are a few issues with basing (...)

And, if you calculate the sales tax *after* the shipping (...) (20 years ago, 8-Aug-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
