Dear Darren, Martin and List,
  Darren and Martin, am I putting words into your
mouth that do not escape? Why is a list member
selling an autograph of one of the biggest MURDERERS
on EARTH?? Why is Adoph Hitler`s autograph being
offered by anyone; let anyone on this list???? SHAME
 ON YOU MATTEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Was your link to a
common coin to lead the NAZI lovers to YOU? Sick!!!!
Burn such a sick piece of ink!!!!!! $900 for a fake?
autograph of a MURDERER. Matteo, even I feel shame
for you. Dirk Ross..Tokyo
