[78-L] American Record Corp. staff photo

[bruce78rpm at comcast.net]

Please show some compassion, 
I did not mean to be unkind, 
But rather was only, 
Just speaking my mind, 
about a flaw in the presentation, 
That was historically incorrect, 
and although in the same genre, 
Its presence was suspect, 
I even offered examples, 
of what might be better things, 
to accompany that great photo, 
and even higher bids might bring, 
so please save your insults, 
for some real no-good slob, 
for those who know me would gladly tell you, 
That I am not stuffy, self centered snob !

Steve, I was the one who was defending the seller's technique in this 
case...you seem to be quoting Bruce but directing your reply to me. I agree 
with you.
