Man oh man, I miss a couple of days, and lots of entertaining banter. I have opinions on these subjects too, so in summary...
I feel everyone is entitled to place whatever price they want on any item, and everyone is entitled to make whatever offer they like. People getting offended and getting their panties in a knot is a little silly. Make the offer, don't accept the offer, and simply move on. Getting personally offended is a waste of energy.

In terms of interest and entertainment...

Fascinating stuff.
This one surprised me. So using proper grammar helped pin this guy down? Wow!!! That is sad on so many levels.

Love those guys.
Just sayin.
This one made me laugh this afternoon, I thought it couldn't be topped...
