Here here! I totally agree with both your comments, Rand, as
well as Barry. Barry certainly did not deserve this kind of abuse. If
there's one thing you learn in the world of CP growing and trading, you
must be patient. You can't expect to build up a huge collection within a
few years, nor can you expect to be the first one in on good deals such
as this.
I too was extremely interested when Barry posted his original
message stating he was selling off his Sarracenia, however, realizing the
legal implications, I did not even bother to add yet another message on
to his large pile. I actually felt somewhat upset as it was obvious that
this was not what Barry wanted to do, but had to, due to circumstances
beyond his control. Barry has always been friendly and helpful over the
e-mail towards myself, and I imagine towards others as well. This kind
of abuse wasn't needed.
I hope the person remembers the next time that the person on the
other end of the e-mail is indeed a real person. All I can say is that I
hope I don't have the displeasure of dealing with someone with that kind
of attitude. I've always thought CPers were a friendly bunch, and I'd
like to continue thinking that.
My 2 cents worth,
