I'm going to get personal in public here because I have another reason why I've never liked the guy. I remember him writing a post saying in effect, "if you have to ask how what it costs, you can't afford it." The guy probably doesn't have a significant other or kids. I've been on MoPo since late 1996. Before I knew who he was, I was active on MoPo every day. Fights were routine. He got mad about something and sent me an out-of-context link to an image of a WWII newspaper comic strip. I felt it was a juvenile retort for something I wrote that pissed him off. So I "nonchalantly" asked him about it. He immediately went into high-gear sales mode. Geez, it was the first time I got pitched after being insulted. In truth, I am interested in propaganda items from WWII, but I wouldn't buy from HIM because I never forgot how he turned an insult into a potential sale. And as a reminder, I always kept the image of the item he threw at me. Now, if anyone has this for under $25 out-the-door - whose name is NOT "rodxmorgan" - let me know and I'll buy it from you. -d.

Seems like a somewhat intelligent slime ball. While holding up Yorick's skull, he'd be listing as many Shakespeare-related Mexican lobby cards as he could find. Someday it might me, "Alas, poor "rodxmorgan", we knew him well.... On second thought, I don't think so... -------------------------------------------------- In a message dated 2/15/2012 3:34:46 P.M.

I don't see a problem with it because indeed, demand goes up for items linked to a celebrity who dies. The only seller who rubbed me the wrong way w/this was "rodxmorgan" - because for years (until I blocked his e-mails) - he exhibited an "I don't give a shit what people think" attitude toward others on this board - while consistently displaying a tasteless style of exploitation akin to a carnival-barking ambulance chaser. I haven't seen him in my inbox for awhile, but oh man that guy sounded ancient, like a guy wearing a straw hat and a flask on his shin, reeking of cigarette smoke, bragging about his revenue streams while doing his damnedest to keep you from looking at his tax returns. -d. -------------------------------------------------- Date: Wed, 15 Feb 2012 23:06:46 +0000 From: evan...@blueyonder.co.uk Subject: Re: 3 WHITNEY HOUSTON Press Kits To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Never really seen the problem with this. Invariably this material is connected to appealing corpses. Though I wouldn't say fresher is better, nature of business surely, even if it seems indelicate. -------------------------------------------------- On 15 Feb 2012, at 21:02, Dave Smith wrote: I definitely had second thoughts before posting but quite a few people asked me if I had material on her.

I couldn't agree more. She's not even buried yet, for God's sake. This is right in line with the mexican lobby card seller who also likes to skip along behind the hearse. -KL -------------------------------------------------- On 2/15/12, Helmut Hamm <texasmu...@web.de> wrote: I always LOVE to buy material on the recently deceased.
