I have trouble just spelling sanctimonious, but you aren't the first
to make that request and have it granted willingly by list
members.  Glad I'm so poor that the thought of buying another car in
the foreseeable future won't have ME making such an immoral request
of my list brothers and sisters.  I guess no one's ever beat ebay out
of a final value fee or two in their lifetime either.  That would be
against their policy as well.  If we're not careful, we'll all go to
hell for something.  Don't tear off that tag in your sleeping bag
either, cuz it's against the law!!
