I would trade all my unicorn feathers for a good cab. I would club a baby unicorn for a good cab!

You don't have to club it, just cut the horn off.  >:D

I would agree with that statement -- I was a complete blank, other than a solitary eBay purchase for a long time. Once I found pseudo-local folks, problem solved. Then I had a new problem ... no space or time.

And I would add that some of the folks being labelled as anti-social or hostile-to-newbs are among the more helpful members of the community.

You know what.... You're absolutely right! It's a worthless damned plywood box.

But it's only a worthless damned plywood box because it's had all of that stripped out of it. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

Lets take a faberge egg remove the jewels, remove the gold hardware, sand the translucent enamel off the surface and give it a nice coat of white paint to freshen it up. What have you got now... A nice bright white paste egg, completely worthless and unrestorable but still nice and bright.
