So this is your listing? That's quite the description. If you know it's a reprint you should probably mention that when you relist it.

I think ajquigs post was a parody of the ebay posting. But I have a headache from reading both, so I could be wrong.

That makes more sense. Hard to imagine that guy being a net54 member but you never know. If that's true it was well done as it sounded just like the original post to me.

Andy's other forum posts are literate, so it must have been satirical. In any case, you have much more intestinal fortitude than I would need to get past the first couple of butchered sentences in that item description.
