And I also subscribe to the school of thought that states the highest form of humor is the ability to laugh at oneself.
But of course I feel shitty whenever my actions hurt innocent people. I apologized to Aneoth in a
PM. He's a good guy, and I don't want him to leave because of my assinine pranks.
There is no question that I Overreacted to this situation. A joke is a joke and I am the one who took this one too seriously, as has been pointed out by several members of the forum here.
With this prank, my collectors saliva was dripping in a flood state up at the thought of possibly obtaining not only a early print
woody, but a First Edition Chainmail too!!
In that regard it was a succesful prank.
I was actually hoping for the Chainmail more than the
woody as I already have an early
woody in my now meager collection. However, about 2 years ago I allowed my NEar Mint First Edition Chainmail to go to another Acaeum member in a fair trade deal and if I ever get the chance to obtain another.......... well..... lets just say that you folks might want to visit your local lending institution for a loan........ That is if you plan to thrash my bid.
As I have before, I may at some point in the future disappear for a while but if so, it will be for OTHER reasons.
And much like other bad pennies I will turn up again..... and again......... and again.........
