Not a huge deal, but wish they would have made that clearer with the earlier e-mail.

How do you really feel, Jay? .

I completely agree that only an idiot would pay it; an imbecile or moron is too smart to fall for that. I guess all those idiots can do is work really hard at it and aspire to become an imbecile or perhaps even a moron (for the over-achievers). And just to head off the pissy emails from angry imbeciles and morons, no, I am not prejudiced against them. I have imbeciles and morons in my own family, and when I was a teenager i definitely thought my father was an idiot. Anyone who'd get bent out of shape about it is a cretin.

I believe that with the industrialization of the larger AH's, the smaller guys like Scott B. are vital to success of the hobby. He may not have the depth of offerings like the giants but there should be a place for him. I know I always find a couple of items in his auctions I bid on, and if there is a problem, he is always quick to fix it, unlike, say, Ebay which is like pulling teeth.
