Dear Steve Arnold,

Normally, I'd send a private reply but another list needs the exposure. Plus
you did ask several times to let you know....

There is another list which might meet your needs better.... it is Meteorite
Collectors...it is more commercial than this one is SUPPOSED to be..(check with
Yahoo groups)....It is better suited to threads which tend to look like day in
and day out bidding on a stock exchange trading floor. I know that more "deals"
are made there than here. We all are pleased that you like this list so much,
but you are obviously a vigorous shopper looking for the absolute best deal--
expand your options and look what other list can offer too, and chose the best
one for the purpose.

Just curious ... Do you not read or save your own emails? Over time, It might
save thousands of repetative transmissions to the rest of the group which would
have jumped at your offers when they first saw them if they were interested. If
you don't save you emails or lose track of how many times you send them, take a
little of the $600 and buy storage at Yahoo.

Think of it this way, when you decide to sell your PV in a few weeks, I and
everyone else on this list will now know what you paid for it. Some of us also
realize that there is a big price difference for the "metal-ed" and "metal-less"
specimens, so good luck in spending the $600. Congrats to who ever made you the
offer.

(Yeah yeah I know I am a meanie but after 6 years on the list I have reached
sufficient crankiness to offer assistance). Nuff Said

Yawl have a nice day now....hear?
