CGG (not CGC) holder professionally tested PLASTIC NOT ARCHIVAL!!!

[OldSchoolTerry]

obviously youre an insufficiently_thoughtful_person because insufficiently_thoughtful_persons always relate economics to stocks, anyway ill indulge in your tardy challenge. if the federal board of governors headed by the chairman raises the discount rate, it effects all lending rates, the prime rate, fed funds rate, mortgage rate. this makes it more expensive to borrow money, including corporate bonds. This makes consumption in the private sector harder with captial being relatively more expensive in comparison prior to the rate hike. Less consumption=less GDP=less profits=less income=less consumption and so forth. thats the explanation for tards like you to understand. but i still doubt you will. ! ITs much more complex than that, and i could go on forever seeing that im a genius, but ill just be wasting precious minutes talking to insufficiently_thoughtful_persons like you who speculate on tech stocks! !

 

The continued use of "" over and over again as an insult is really redundant at this point, but he does have some understanding of economics.....

[Red Hook]

That's high school level economics, and nothing you couldn't pick up watching CNBC. It's the insults that invalidate anything he has to say. That's my point. There is no need for that.

[mitol]

Economo, are you capable of submitting at least one post without including the word or have all the accreditations made you a RE-??

[Red Hook]

That first strike looked to be right down the center of the plate. The pitcher is getting the signals from the catcher...........

Hello Scott

 

 

[Question]:

Question History:

Patron: Is it safe to store a comic book in a bag or container made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC)?

Librarian 1: April 16, 2004

 

Dear Scott,

 

We do not recommend the use of PVC plastics for the storage of comic books or any other historic paper based material. Plastic enclosures are preferred for frequently used collections because they protect them from fingerprints and provide physical support. Plastic enclosures should be made from plastics such as polyester, polyethylene, polypropylene, spun-bonded polyolefins, or polystyrene. These plastics are recommended by ISO standards because they are typically inert, unplasticized, and have good chemical stability. Since many paper materials can adhere to smooth surfaces at high humidities, use of plastic of any type should be avoided if prolonged storage at relative humidities above 80% is likely. Avoid all plastics that have fillers, coatings, or UV absorbers. Avoid the use of polyester, polyethylene, and polypropylene that has a hazy film on the surface, which indicates that the plastic film is coated or is heavily plasticized. Avoid using adhesives or fasteners that may cause chemical or physical damage, such as rubber cement, pressure-sensitive tape, paper clips, or rubber bands.

Can anyone post the "This thread is Dead, Jim" pic?

[Darthdiesel]

there are too many conditionals in your last statement in order to result in premiums being paid for CGG books to continue.

Um... is there where someone points out that Barex isn't one of the recommended materials either?

[FFB]

Barex 210 is an archival quality material. I have sent a follow-up question just to be sure, but there is no real question about this one. I don't think Carrie's list was meant to be exhaustive.

I'm already working on the press release:

(Headline) "Library of Congress Declares Comic Books Historic Documents"

 

Wertham will be spinning in his grave...

It looks to me like economo is doing his best to get this thread shut down. He appears to be hoping that his insulting posts will be pulled, causing most of the thread to disappear. Why would someone want that? Well, in this case, someone who didn't like the message of CGG using possibly damaging materials in their holder might feel it would be better if the posts were pulled and the thread was locked. Locked threads can't be resurrected and are doomed to drift down the pages into nonexistance. With enough insults, he might be able to achieve his goal.

 

Do your best to keep from taking his bait, guys.

Ya know, that could be any kind of fetish equipment. I'm starting to side with Greggy on this.
