Hello!
 
Hi Mayhew,
 
DO NOT FEEL ANY GUILT!!! The guilt should fall on those who whine. I
think that the un-edited versions are fine and very educational. As for
dealers, they are OK too. Wouldnt be too many unusual shells in
collections if it were not for dealers and the "field collectors" who
make a living at it.
 
Later,
