the Christmas strikes was mine. And I make no apologies for it.

And the redemption DID begin promptly at 7:00AM as I said it would.

You wrote "Several collector's (sic) show up at 4 A.M. in the morning only to find out that you started a sign-up list at 5 P.M. the night before."

No matter how you want to spin it, list or no list, there were over 100 people who showed up PRIOR to 4:00AM. Anybody who showed up at that time was too late, period.

There is a saying that the early bird gets the worm. 4:00AM in this instance was not the early bird.

And by the way, at least I have the decency to sign my name to my posts - but then and again I have nothing to hide.
