It has no such distinguished place in in the rare book trade, as any decent reference on book collecting will make clear. I am going to be quite blunt in suggesting that if your "brain" was operating on more than a pitiful bundle of neurons and synapses maybe the size of a kitchen matchstick, you would have saved yourself the embarrassment of such a shoddy attempt at wit.

Bob Finnan is the type and genus of an entity found in most newsgroups: the crazy pest. The only thing that sets him apart from the garden variety crazy newgroup pest is that Bob is crazier and more pestiferous than many others of his ilk. [Memo from the upstairs offrice] |

"Mint" is a generally accepted term among stamp collectors. "Minted" is not. If you read the above, you will see that I never asserted that "minted" was a customary term in stamp collecting. Yes, in my post previous to that I strayed somewhat from strict stamp collecting terminology in order to emphasize my point. On the other hand, this is not a stamp collecting group, and the thing our crazy newsgroup pest tried to divert attention from is the fact that "mint" is not a term of the used and rare book trade. When you see "mint" misemployed in a book listing, you are seeing evidence that an amateur posted the listing, and you are seeing a warning sign that that there may be other serious inaccuracies in the description. [Memo from the upstairs office] "Mint" is an adjective. "Minted" is a verb form. David Ames |

Our crazy newsgroup pest Bob is bouncing off walls again in his desperate to refute the irrefutable. Apparantly Finnan never even took high school business law or he might have learned that there are legally recognized terms in a great many trades and businesses where disputes may occur. The Uniform Commerical Code makes frequent reference to the importance of such terms in settling disputes. For instance, it is not hard to imagine a lawsuit occurring because someone sold an expensive postage stamp as mint, although the seller maintains the stamp is of a lower grade and wants his money back. If enough money was involved, you may even have experts on both sides offering contasting views of what precisely is mint. At some point the court might take the matter under advisement and research other cases involving the term "mint" as it relates to stamp collecting. They could easily discover a precise, longstanding meaning of the term based on usage of experts in the business. That would be the "legally recognized meaning" of the term in the stamp trade. [I might add here that it is rather pathetic that our crazy newsgroup pest Finnan would waste my time with something as basic as this. However, doing that is in fact a favorite trick of critters like Bob: That is, annoying others by illogically challenging things the carping pest either know to be true or should know to be true were not the pest unusually ignorant. Like Bob Finnan. Sad.] [Memo from the upstairs office. |

Our crazy newsgroup pest palmjob is
bouncing off walls again in his desperate attempt to refute the irrefutable. Pick up any stamp collector's magazine or catolog and try to find the word mint - ain't there palmjob, you hemorrhoid. But keep posting palmy, I just love to watch you make a fool of yourself with your incredible pomposity and equally incredible talent of ALWAYS being wrong. Maybe you and Barky should form your own group and put your alleged wits to use there. |
