I'm not sure why it's anyone's business if he sold his first Wagner.

Relax, Dan, I was just asking a pretty innocent question of John. I thought it was made clear by him that he still owned it and I had heard the exact opposite. I was just curious about the inconsistent things I had heard and since John seems pretty open to discussing his two Wagners in an unsolicited manner I can't imagine he'd suddenly find it offensive for me to ask about one of them. Of course, if John finds my question too prying or personal all he has to do is tell me so.

I am relaxed...it seemed clear to me that he still owns it since he said he can't keep it in his house.

And then stated that none of the rumors of the sales mentioned were true. Seemed to me it was clear he still owned it.

John, perhaps the reason you can't keep that Wagner in your home is because it's in someone else's home?

On top of Mike O'Keeffe's favorite newspaper no less!

[Reginald Marsh]

Now that's funny.

Nice Photoshop work Jeff.

[calvindog]

Matt, you got me! I can't scan a card but I am the King of Photoshop.

And Jay, neither the bookmark nor the newspaper are mine. I don't even read the Daily News anymore -- rumor is that one of its writers hates miscut Wagners!

So much for clarity, it appears. Obviously Jeff had a reason for asking the question.

[Jay Wolt]

Jeff that's quite the expensive bookmark you have

Peter,

Aren't you lawyers trained to never ask a question you don't know the answer to?

Well of course it depends on the context but that's certainly what I was thinking when I read Jeff's question the other night.

No not at all it is natural to take people at their word. Apparently he didn't realize that someone knew otherwise. As for the motive to dissemble, who knows?
