Sorry Barry. This is the only time I get to correct you on a post. You've missed a personality. We now have an assistant that mailed a check to the wrong address in the mix. Two plus one makes three and there would be one for everyone.

Bruce, Nothing personal, even you should see the humor in your original post.

I doubt Bruce would let a mere assistant become a name partner in The Group. Besides I'm not sure he's yet figured out how to use an assistant; they keep quitting after he threatens to sue them for bringing him coffee he requested.

Antagonistic. That's a great word.

Bruce, I met you earlier this year and found you to be a very nice, personable man. What you did a couple of days ago in this thread was funny! It was an accident, brought on by that antagonistic message board attitude that you sometimes have. It was funny, and we had fun with it!

If I had done the same thing, everyone would have had just as much fun!

"Aww, shucks, I goofed" is an endearing response when a mistake such as that is made.

Your collection, by all accounts, is wonderful, and your knowledge of the hobby is right up there with all the other hobby experts (myself definitely NOT included) who post on this board. You could be an outstanding resource here. I'm sure that being helpful and personable and friendly would not hurt your quest for rare, high-grade items - in fact, it might actually help it.

You could certainly get a lot more out of this board, and the hobby in general, than you presently do - it's sort of a give and take thing. But if you continuously antagonize, you've got to expect a little abuse in return. You can choose to hit back harder, I suppose - some of us do that - but all that really does is create a never-ending cycle. That's no fun.

BTW, be careful with your posts in this thread. Archive might get upset that you're posting with his ID and sue you.

Just to pile on the fact that it's not a big deal, I too think an innocent mistake is just that, innocent and no big deal. I wish this mistake Brucii made was even in the top 200 that I have ever made. I would be clicking my heels and happy as a lark. When you can laugh at yourself is the time you know you have your esteem in the correct place. I am not sure the Group is there yet. The other day I went around all day wearing one of my T-shirts inside out. My 13 yr old pointed it out. We had a great laugh. That is what life is all about. Afterwards I went ahead and put it on, right side out. Who cares? Life is too short not to be able to laugh at yourself. best regards

Wearing a T-shirt inside out?!?! Unfathomable, and unforgivable.

Leon,
Here in the deep south (you know the home of rotting little shacks just to keep this on topic) that is how we do it. It cuts the need to do laundry in half.
