Do Not Feed the Trolls by
Scot Kamins
Everyone,
I posted most of this as a response in another thread, but I thought it
worthy of its own title.
Feeding trolls keeps them alive. Do not feed them and they will shrivel
up and die. It doesn't take much food to keep them alive. A single
morsel tossed to them will breath life into...

Penguins by
joholondon
In my youth, I collected those Penguins with the numbers on the spine.
I'm now trying to get rid of them on ebay and my other half suggested I
try and promote it on a discussion group. This feels really cheeky as

[email protected]

I believe Mr. Gates paid quite a large sum for one of DaVinci's
surviving works, and although that in itself is an interesting topic,
I'm thinking more along the lines of books...
