Lordy, lordy, lordy.
I feel like my head was bit off like a Tootsie Pop. I repeat, perhaps my
message was misunderstood, and I am sorry to ruffle so many feathers. I was
(if you care) trying to be helpful and was perhaps a little to vaguely obvious
(?). Forgive a worn out brain for the inability to get a point clearly
accros. Don't expend so much energy over lynching me yet, I hardly asked for
it. I only wanted to suggest that other collector web sites may have more
trading partners than those of us who spend most of our disposable cash on
other forms of plastic playthings. And they are probably easy enough to call
old when they are out of production, distribution and were not readily
available for purchase from retail anywho. Really, I forgot that there has
not been a good fight here on lugnet for a looonnng time now, I should have
known better.
Repectfully,
Aaron
