Maybe a nice knockoff Rolex.

I'm not sure how what I said suggested to you that I had any 'impression'. "Trash" was your word, and what I said about questioning whether you had any of the missing books was meant to be in jest. I certainly never thought you did have 'books', though it's fairly common knowledge that there are individuals that do. I can
almost give you credit that you "freely share" the many pages of info you have. Almost, because the permission to copy, and permission to disseminate those copies, of the Parker records, was given to the PGCA, and ONLY the PGCA. Had all the members of the copy team been careless enough to spoil so many copies, and then picked the trash, I doubt there would be any point in having a research function, or that they could generate much income for the organization. I'm certainly not the only member that feels this way, just one of the few who doesn't much give a rats ^$$ who I offend.
