I was just going through the archives, and I 
stumbled across some serious `encounters`^=^. It 
is so funny to go back and read some of the 
scuffles and verbal-sparrring that went on!! It 
was scary then, but very humoruous now. I think I 
was involved in a few myself. How nutty some of 
us can become when perceived to be criticized or 
verbally attacked in some way. It is very 
pleasing to see that the love of collecting has 
kept most still posting and expressing their 
thoughts and helpful insights. Not that I am 
asking for more trouble, of course I`m not!! So, 
I know some, may still hold grudges or whatever, 
call it `emotional baggage` or `scars` so this 
message is not intended for you. However, I found 
what is now listed in the archives starting from 
page (98) to be quite amusing (now). About the 
time of TARO`S last glorious sale!! Can anyone 
recall their most *heated* moment(s) on the 
Forum? I wish all well!! I hope that this message 
is taken with an open mind, a grain of salt, and 
a heartful look back at how serious we can all 
get at times, and "loose our cool" ^-^.
