tracer Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 i would probably never buy something under that type of circumstance, but if i did, i would be like, ok, fine, you want to sell something - send it to me with an interior box with your address and return postage on it. i'll either return the fossils or payment for them in the box. you want to make money? then you get to take all the risk. otherwise i'll just live without your fossils, as i've been doing all my life to this point. besides, it's such a hassle getting fossils from someone, and then having to drive somewhere to the appropriate strata, bury them, and dig them up again so you can say you excavated them without being a bald-faced liar. i only wrote that sentence for two reasons. one, i wanted to use the word "excavated", since i haven't said that lately. two, i wanted to subtly bring up my ongoing confusion over the term "bald-faced liar", versus "bold-faced liar". they both get about the same number of google hits, although i read that "bald" came from mishearing of "bold". but why don't people just say "darned-to-heckfire liar" or something? it'd be more clear. you could reserve "bald-headed liar" for people who claim to have eagles as pets and don't. it was around 70 degrees vergnugenheit when i got up this morning. sweatin' in january in texas is kinda ridonkulous, but typical. P.S. <== why is that capitalized? anyway, p.s. - don't get me wrong - <rappin> i like big cidarids and i cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got another message from them too in my inbox offering to sell fossils to me. I have never seen them post anything but I have gotten 2 messages offering to sell me fossil in my inbox now. When I haven't seen any post from this person it makes me think that it is just spam and would rather not get any more in my inbox from someone I know nothing about.

It was a language barrier, resulting in misunderstanding of the rules. Under MB's patronage, that has been corrected. There should be no further PM "spamming".

tracer Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 i personally rather resent the fact that onerous unsolicited electronic comminucations got dubbed "spam" in the first place. the reason i feel that way is that i, and a bunch of people on pacific islands, like to eat spam. and fruitcake. and twinkies. and anything with monosodium glutamate in it. my goal is to live forever. so far so good.
