I remember being in Mexico and seeing these fabulous houses surrounded by high walls to shut out the blatant squalor all around them and thought it obscene and disgusting. Now, I realize, at least it is honest. (But still obscene and disgusting). I understand that without an accumulation of wealth there is little or no high art or culture, and that has to be its best justification, but when is enough enough? And when and where do we as individuals persuing our hobbies and passions cross some nebulous line and become obscene and disgusting people? ; ) Edward From KEEPERH2O Tue Nov 4 02:57:11 2003 From: KEEPERH2O (keeper...@aol.com) Date: Sun Dec 24 13:10:25 2006 Subject: [Phono-L] US $19,990.00 (Reserve met) Message-ID: <4d.36f80181.2cd8c...@aol.com> In a message dated 11/2/03 8:48:41 AM Pacific Standard Time, chippendale...@aol.com writes: > In a message dated 11/2/2003 11:17:03 AM Eastern Standard Time, > lo...@oldcrank.com writes: > My point is that everyone has their priorities and price ceilings.

However, while I hold my nose, I sure hope should I ever have $30,000 -- or $19,000 to blow on a record, I will offer some deserving kid a scholarship, instead, or put an add in the paper offering free medical and dental check ups for people in my town who do not have health insurance, or contribute to the battered woman's crisis line -- O m' Godz! There are SO MANY THINGS I WOULD SOONER DO!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let's get real! It is indeed a case of priorities. Some priorities are healthy and others so obdurate, selfish and obtuse that I cannot feel comfortable sharing space with them. My 30,000 worth. ; ) Edward From Srsells1 Tue Nov 4 08:34:26 2003 From: Srsells1 (srsel...@aol.com) Date: Sun Dec 24 13:10:25 2006 Subject: [Phono-L] MAPS Membership directory Message-ID: <129.342899bd.2cd91...@aol.com> I got my copy yesterday. John Hauger did a nice job. The resorted lists are nice but not as useful as could be because only those who provided Phone #s are sorted. (I guess I forgot to resubmit mine). It's great to have folks email addresses (though those change often) but I noted there were MANY without phone numbers and many without descriptions of what the members collect - which always made the book helpful. Also, as everyone should know by now, this is a membership directory and not a Resource Guide as the 2000 one was. So don't throw out your old one. You'll need for phone #s as well. I guess I assumed - wrongly - that the phone numbers and interests would be imported from the previous Directory listings. Still it's a lot of work and a volunteer effort. You won't see a display ad in November issue. The info is in the FIRST classified ad on page 19 of November ITG.
