Jan's is an important observation. I have posted before that we need to keep our comments objective and stick to observable and documented facts. Pure conjecture on the authenticity of a Luger (or any other object) based on photos on the web or past experiences with any dealer or collector isn't healty. Subtle innuendo or snide comments couched as humor also doesn't get around the fact that it is an attempt to deride or discredit. Behave as gentlemen/ladies, and consider the language you are using. Before posting a comment about which you have strong feelings, stop for a moment and consider how you would feel if it was directed at you.
For the most part, the forum does a great job of being impartial, and alerts newcomers to the pitfalls of buying or selling. Occasionally it gets tense, but if we keep cool heads, keep it objective and not personal, we will all enjoy it more and provide a healthy discussion environment for us all.
On a final note, it is not necessary to defend any buyer or seller, just stick to the facts. <img src="graemlins/soapbox.gif" border="0" alt="[soapbox]" />
