    [Trying to sell Phatman Collectible Droppings]

Me:

    Don't "now-now" me, David.

    The scienos are already pumping up a market in Phatman 
    Collectible Droppings and bilking people out of thousands of 
    dollars to buy them.

>And there are *so* *many* books of the stuff! And magazines! And leaflets!
>And unsold copies of Mission Earth!

    They should stay unsold and filter down to bargin bins in
    used bookstores to be sold for $.49 each.

    [bla, bla, f*cking bla deleted]

>So, Dennis: people with Phattman Droppings for sale are, to *my* mind,
>entirely welcome.
 
    So they should just email you and sell them to your mind.

>Besides which, I'm in need of somewhat more actual
>paper copies of Crutch documents than I have, and am looking out for such
>ads.
                                                             
    It is not appropriate for ars to make a market in Phatso's 
    collectibles so that unsuspecting people can get ripped off 
    by an artificially pumped up demand.
    
    Newsgroups are not classified ads.

>Besides, they're a MUCH better indicator than Milne postings of what's
>happening to the Crutch.
                                      
    What's happening is that they're trying to make a market for 
    Phatso's Droppings and drive the price UP.

    Get a grip.
