I doubt anyone on this board has a "deep seeded hatred" for you. I have never even met you, and people who have met you say that you are very likeable (this includes at least one person who you thought "hated" you). Honestly, if I ever meet you in a social situation I would probably offer to buy you a drink, unless you started kicking me in the shins.

"Total contempt"? I'm not sure that's what I feel...but maybe. But you shouldn't be concerned with that - many board members have already indicated in this thread that they think you are being unfairly chastised. So you have that going for you.

Forgive me, but I need to use those damned brackets just once...

<<Given your total contempt for me, I will not make the card available to you. Too often you have said one thing and done another as well as having taken things out of context to suit your position. You clearly do not have my best interest.>>

No, that's not true. I have always known that there was no way that anyone on this board would ever get to see that e95 Cobb post-alteration. I made the offer to buy it realizing that you would have to be an absolute moron to take me up on it. My offer had nothing to do with your "best interest" - you are correct that that doesn't concern me. I simply wanted to see if you were correct that no one would be able to spot the alterations. I don't think that's true, and hopefully at some point we will be at the same location and you can bring the card. I have been told that there are professional document restorers who can do work so well that no one could spot it...I just want to see if that is true.
