staggeringly rare ;-)

Thank YOU, Steve Berlin, for your posting on the STAGGERINGLY RARE KATE
RARITIES!!! It was timely, witty, right on the money, and a WHOLE lot nicer 
than I had planned to be.

I have been tempted for the longest time to FLAME (NUKE?) the intergastronomic 
garage character for his (IMHO) tacky postings. I have no problem with private 
individuals (i.e. not businesses) offering to sell their most prized 
possesions, items for which they have some emotional attachment, due to 
hardship or duplication, etc. 

However, this OTHER type of posting, offering "products" of dubious value or 
desirablity (from which KaTe derives no additional revenue, no less, for the 
so-called added value), with laughable certificates of "authenticity", 
belong somewhere else. Perhaps a group like biz.offers.snake-oil  ;-)

Or perhaps he could hook up with one of those cable TV home shopping 
operations, who always seem to offer things of dubious value.  (I can't 
believe my cable company now has 2 full-time and one half-time home shopping 
fiascos!!!)

In any case, thanks again, Steve!
