Someone called me Carl. That's all I know.

Really?

How about after every post of yours, I chime in with something like "Bernie Madoff is alive and well." Or "Judas Iscariot is alive and well." Or "Donald Trump is alive and well."

That be OK with you, Ken?

Jim Stinson, you going to the National this year?

If you are, board-recluse Richard Simon says he will go.

Only a recluse when it comes to the National. Conv. Have not been there in many years. Once the internet became dominant I gave up doing shows.
And my friend Jim Stinson has an even longer no National streak then I do .

I am in the process of prodding Jim to go but it's a big time uphill battle.

When I used to set up at the National I used to prod him all the time to come to the show.
Never worked.
Fight the good fight Leon, but I doubt if you can win .

I was debating pouring acid in my eyes or going to the National , as to which would be more fun And I elected to skip the later. Probably because I remember the days when the National was FUN. When you could meet old friends and actually buy great stuff, I knew almost everyone in the room. Then it became corporate .... I think the last National I set up at was in Atlanta and the last one I attended was somewhere in California. Not sure what years but I think Eisenhower was President

First off, being as how you're the bitter crank of the group, I'd just ignore it.

But as an outsider to the squabbles here, I read this entire thread last night, and I have to say that Richard's post appears to have been in direct response to Chris' post just before yours, and in reply to several posts previous: many buyers are picking these up hoping to flip for a quick buck and getting burned, therefore they're suckers, therefore it's time to quote Barnum.

Is it possible that not everything is about you?? How did a college professor get by with such thin skin?

I'm sure David will probably agree: I have never known a tenured, published college professor who didn't think everything was about them.

Absolutely correct, Ken. Richard's comment was in direct response to my post.

[RichardSimon]

This is way too much.
I have Atkatz on block and cannot read his posts but since he is quoted I did read the quotes.
Did David really think that?
That is just way too much.
How full of oneself can he be and not to mention paranoid.
I know I have used that Barnum line before but it never entered my thoughts that it would be misinterpreted.
It was directed at the body of the thread as this one was.
Wow. What else can I say?
