Brian,
Grrrrrrr...
I also collect fountain pens, and in the vernacular of that hobby, you and
Greg are a "Sumgai".
What does that mean? Envision this scenario: I go into a backwoods camera
store and ask: "Got any used Olympus OM stuff?". And the used equipment
guy says: "Yea, we had a bunch of mint OM bodies and lenses, but some guy
(Sumgai) came in yesterday and took all the stuff for $500. Sorry, you
I'll have to check back another day"
All of us wish were Sumgai at one time, just like those "jerks" Brian and
Gary, especially Brian! <bg>
