[R-390] Our radio buddy

[ampop at comcast.net]

Martyn is a lot like P. T. Barnum and his Ebay adds are like the Sideshows
(Freak Shows) at the Old  Time Carnivals and Circus.  He is the equivalent
of what they used to call a 'Talker" or "Barker" and he feeds on the "Curious"
amoungst us.  P. T. Barnum was know as "The Prince of Humbugs" and I
think Martyn fits the bill in the same manner.  The folks that pay their Dollar
and enter the "Tent" are the losers.  Most of the folks that suscribe to this list
are those that just stand outside and look at the canvas depicting the Freaks
displayed on the carny billboards.  I think Martyn would suscribe to the 
theory that "THERE IS A SUCKER BORN EVERY MINUTE."  In the
meantime, I would suspect that he is laughing all the way to the Bank.
