I would like to ask my fellow MoPo member from the Netherlands what he would do
if he was in Andrea's situation OR in Chris Cloutier's situation --taking into
account that both have already talked and e-mailed each other. What would you
do? What would, in your view, be your definition of taking "the high road" in
this situation?
By the way, this forum historically feeds on not just discussions about posters
and condition and restoration -- but also the behavior -- real, perceived or
erroneous -- of the people who are in this hobby. And this includes people who
"service" the hobby such as restorers, framers, auction houses, consignors, etc.
