[Milsurplus] eBay estate lot.. now more joy from Epay

[Peter Gottlieb]

No politician is "my boy," and I resent your assumptions, although they are 
consistent with you jumping to conclusions that match your preferences.  It is 
pointless to discuss this further, as it is not by any definition a discussion, 
and is completely OT here anyway.  However, to clarify the waters you muddied, I 
am quite harsh in my judgement of both of our major parties and the talking 
heads they field to us.  Given a few beers, you would find that I will match the 
intensity and argue against whichever side you might argue for.  I am registered 
independent, btw.

I am very sorry about you having to sell off your radio collection.  That must 
be very painful as all this gear is really amazing stuff.  And it is too bad 
eBay has made the already difficult task that much more painful and expensive.  
This is indeed unfortunate.

Peter
