Ookoo Lady,

I didn't intend for anybody to be pilloried for this, but thank you for fessing up and taking responsibility. It is very gracious of you to do so.

While I wasn't really mad as to what happened, I suppose I was a bit irritated at the time because it was done by somebody who has collected for a long time, and by somebody I presume would know better. However, I realize we all have our moments from time-to-time.

I suppose my objective of this post was to vent somewhat, but more to send a reminder to fellow collectors to be courteous while hunting. Although this field is increasingly competitive, I do think it is imperative to maintain the fellowship with the ohana.

So apology most certainly accepted. And I'm glad the matchbook found a good home. Hope to see you at the next venue (Oasis!).

Kidding aside now, I am the person who bought the matchbook. Tikipedia is right, it was rude of me to reach into the bin when he was still looking through it. I have been in that situation and I also get annoyed when someone else does it. I humbly submit to a public flogging on this board.

I offer him an apology, and will gladly give him the matchbook and buy him a drink if he will accept.
