Jim,  Thanks for sharing this message from your eBay pen pal!  I should 
write him as well and tell him that I have a copy where the scratches have 
been rerecorded...of course that wouldn't exactly "border rude" but would 
pretty well hop over the line to good old plain rude.

As I recall,  two icicles which look exactly alike are called  "identicles."

Beware of anyone who feels to need to tell you that they are a "very nice 
person."  Usually they are not.

Friends, do you want to loose fifty pounds of ugly,  excess weight?    Just 
throw out about a half dozen 12"  Victor symphonic sets!
