I'd justify it to myself that I was rescuing this priceless piece of art from the clutches of an unthinking buffoon who could have done something bad to it like lean it against a microwave in the dirt in his front yard and besides how do I really know it's Rembrandt maybe it's not and it really is worth only $5 and honey would you go get my wallet from the car while I clutch tightly to this schlock and also please start the car when you're there I want to leave quickly after making my purchase. And then when I struck it rich I'd give part of the money to the seller if he/she wanted it. Maybe a 1/3rd. -todd -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
