I remember a paint guy doing more or less the same thing several years ago and I sure don't remember a big fuss about that.  Of course I think Walt was the big distraction then.  Not like there has been a lot of traffic lately and my computer has a delete key.

As stated, Dave, none of my business.  Control of this list as we all know
is 100% up to Spencer.  Having said that, I will now say that it rubs my
fur backwards when folks think they can slip in the back door and nobody
will notice.  When I see this type activity, I always wonder why anyone
thinks that taking advantage or being underhanded will make anyone want to
do business with them.??????????

Again, just my 2 cents.

Charlie V., just another collector, sort of.
