As I expected, Archie. You launched into a prolonged tirade of self defense without even once noticing or acknowledging that I agree with your crusade and only had one small point of contention with one aspect of extremism. That point in no way appied to the auction in progress, as you seem to think. A crusade is the "active" part of activism, and I never suggested that you not stand up for what you believe in. I've been on many crusades. My post was intended to point out my agreement with your crusade, my frustration at the lack of concern by others, and a suggestion that one aspect of your postition might present a distraction to a more fundamental issue. As usual, we can't have a discussion on it. Fine. People who never listen, never learn.

But then, isn't that the problem with many of these hucksters we both find distasteful with their blatantly false claims of rarity?
