The baby is from ETRADE not scott trade - lol Again I choked with laughter hearing that baby shouting your message . . . I agree, Bill has done a wonderful job with these books and should copywright them. I believe Mr Shapiro on legalzoom.com could help him with that for a nominal fee that is probably calculated using your time space continum formula.

I sure am glad that I read your message (in the manner it was intended like the baby on ETRADE) because I hadn't realized how RARE my collection of Reference Catalogs truly is. Numbered and signed by the author as they truly are! I will consider leaving instructions for dispersal of them to my heirs in my will, which I probably should also retain the services of Mr Shapiro for on legalzoom.com.

The original question sure did get lost in this translation . . . maybe we should speak in the time space continum formulation more often to allow the world to laugh more. I hope the fella who wanted the books has purchased them from Bill by now.

To change the subject, I was thinking of writing a story for a cartoon character called The Silver Strike. With all the talent we had in the contest for our coin this year, I was thinking one of the members could illustrate it and we could publish it through the club. Just a silly idea, no real plot except maybe The Adventures of The Silver Strike as (s)he travels the world through the hands of appreciative collectors.

Thanks again for a cleansing laugh - it has made my day
