I am just messing around. I do appreciate everyone's opinions and insights!
You antiquers are a sensitive bunch.
Easy tiger. I was joking. You two do seem to have the same temperament.
I see your points about a low offer being taken as an insult. I really didn't view it as an offer I expected the person to accept, rather a...
