Mr.Mcknowitall

I would enjoy a Mr. Delekkerste post on this.

Ask Buzz to post the PMs....you may find it interesting on that particular point, and 180 degrees in fact from what he has suggested. What needle is being moved?

I see many issues with this, but that is up to the members, not me.

While I have enjoyed the Thread, does that make it an exception? If posting a Thread that members may enjoy, that does not sound like a Rule to follow, to determine a ban. It would seem to me that anybody on the List could do so, and have Board friends endorse it. You have used the Lighthouse example. I thought I read he elected to stay on the List. Is that fact? What if, in the passage of time, you were to engage in a deal of sorts with him? After all, he runs a Comics Store and may offer an advantage to someone on the Boards, via PM. I am not sure your exceptions suggestion would work. But, that is up to the membership. I do see cliques forming though, and skewing the suggestion.

Is there definitive language and Rules posted anywhere? I can not find it in the HOS Rules Thread of 21 pages. I read a lot of suggestions from members, but nothing as conclusive as your statements, as to what being listed on the HOS means, what permanent treatment means, and what permanent loss of status ans permanent loss of protection of not offenders means, and what abdicated all standing in the community means. Is it possible it is in another Thread? I would appreciate a link. Thanks in advance.

Buzz???

27.5% of members voting (11) have voted no. They all must be backing the wrong horse and sticking their necks out and defending wrongly.

I learned a lot from this Post. Thank You.

It can not be the effect, as opposed to the cause?

A wise suggestion.

My phrasing causes the point I am making to be misunderstood. My fault. I am referring to the hassles, legalities, and just plain PITA that will occur, when stating items as fact. You personally have not conducted any scientific tests. I appreciate what the Host states. I appreciate that you have caused the Rings to fade away. That is not a scientific explanation you can support with your own testing. Our Host, I assume, has done so, I don't know. You said in your post you hope they can figure it out. they have not done so. Why subject yourself to hassles, by stating it is normal, it is Newton Rings, don't worry, etc. The posts I have already made about the subject, while not popular, are based on my experience, which is technical and scientific. We all have different ideas and opinions. My opinion concerning what we are discussing is that I would choose not to invite a hassle for myself, when it is the Host that has made the statement and assumed scientific and technical tests to reach the conclusion, and you are simply re-stating it.It seems easier to just state in your Listings that the Host made those declarations, not you. There is going to be a lot more of this; I have already seen many listings that are changing and not only on ebay. This is not an insignificant issue. On technical blog websites it is discussed constantly. It particularly effected Pharma, and food industry and drove up costs, delayed approvals, had and has created shortages for hospitals with needed medicines. Make of it as you will. there are solutions. There are better performing polymer/co-polymer/polymeric solutions. There are better contamination reducing methods. It costs a lot and the end product is not cheap. In this arena....polymers etc. extrusion/manufacturing/end product, there is no Goldberg solution that makes it all go away. Comics are no less important and has the same economic and business effect..... a problem not solved.

It may have been better to state that according to our Host, it is Newton Rings.........etc. You do not know the cause...2 plastic surfaces touching, prism effect, light effect, not a stain and no impact on the book....as correct or proven. I would not do so, and of course I understand everyone is different. My only point is you are putting yourself in the seat created by the Host, and if something goes South....

Besides, he never said Thank You when he got replies...so there is that.

To quote an upstanding Pirate, sorry ( Although I detect the possibility of an emergent OCD symptom concerning repetitive opinions).

"O", the "U"manity.......

At least you didn't use a disingenuous "Sorry"....or "sorry" if placed at the end of the sentence.

One of my 3 top favorite Shows (See what I did there....S not s... twice.)

I'm sorry.....

Is there really a reason to be sorry? I don't detect sincerity. iIs it just being mannerly? You don't believe somebody, simply state "I don't believe you". Form everything you have opined on the subject, you definitely are not sorry, IMHO. That is neither right or wrong, it just is. It just sounds a bit disingenuous, to me, to state "sorry".

Yea, but admit it is fun to tweak the Mod nose a bit and legally stay in-bounds......

And....in the process trying to keep within the Mod8 position of one nanananana post per thread....with poetic license of course....otherwise know as sticking it to the Man.

Not a new line....but always welcomed.

No.

The husband....and business partner....wants her to buy his half of the inventory....of an ongoing business Enterprise. It would be nice if it worked the way you suggested.
