Ha, ha,,your kidding with that comment right?!


Gaspare, I wish I was, but I'm dead serious.
Textbook case in point:
There was an author (out of England, I believe) who was writing a book about all the scams in the militaria hobby over the decades. He was naming names, dates, the whole bit. It was going to be THE BIG revelation of how the hobby really works with some of the biggest, most respected, (and many not so respected) dealers in the hobby-past and present.
He and a partner also started a militaria forum called 'Dolos'. -exposing the Fakes-

Well they didn't last long. The author was warned of a pending suit if the book was released. It never saw the day of light. And the Dolos site was also shorty shut down.
Although the owners deny it was due to 'lawyers', I heard it was for exactly that reason.
