If you brought a dress shirt to a tailor and said you wanted to get an alteration done on it and asked for a quote, they'd look at you like you were crazy after explaining to them that the "alteration" you'd like to have done is just to have it steamed (or ironed, steam cleaned, etc.).

Next time, try and read first. I have not spoken a word against pushing on a corner with your finger or soaking whatsoever and actually said the opposite. I know this board largely struggles to read transcripts but it's right there. You just make things up to defend fraud, shilling, alteration, or whatever unethical act of the day has your fancy.

Here's another complete lie from our resident fraud guy. You cannot possibly be so stupid as to not understand the contextual use of 'original'. Again, where did I speak against pushing on a corner with your finger or wiping fingerprint? Nowhere. I said the opposite. You claim people argued against non-controversial things to then conflate them with egregious acts and non-disclosure to pretend it's all fine.
