Mr. Campiglia,
I am glad to hear at least a little conciliatory verbiage in your reply. If you read back to my original post you will see my questions were phrased in the context that I thought your work was exceptional in that it contained good information; good pictures, and logical reasoning for your views. What made me think twice about your intentions, sir, is your comments, such as "The best book to ever hit the hobby" and "Work of art" or "People in house trailers.." Come off as abrasive, rude and self centered.
Again, if you look back to my original posts and question, you will find that I said that dis-agreeing on an issue such as slabbing or helping the Third Party Appraisal businesses, do not make either of us inheirently wrong, bad or ill willed. Our Country is great because of our basic right to our opinions and the ability to voice them. Even to now i do not hold any ill will toward you or your work, but you are wrong to belittle people you don't know. I love this hobby, Jim and am just as much a part of it as you are. I have a right to my view that Slabbing will hurt our hobby. I am also not alone.
Sincerely, Brien Bellous-Reynoldsburg, Ohio.
