Part of being a good friend is the ability to tell another friend when they are wrong. Although I feel that this thread has had some redeeming moments of enlightenment I feel that its original intent was to confront a respected authority who held an unfavourable hypothesis on a very impactual matter and intimidate him in a subtle way with the weight of the "collecting" community. A potentially volatile thread should never have been started without the committed participation of the originator.There is merit to both sides but at the end of the day the only one to convince is yourself. If you need to convince the buyer than we are all in trouble, cheers
