I had to finally spam filter this person. Koogles has my sympathies as the e-mails typically sent in sets of 3 of the identical e-mail. OCD OCD OCD!

Yes it is FF, posting in that same "Sybillish" style and tone!

About 8 years ago, I posted a list of demos, CD's and records I owned. (remember when bragging as such was a "cool" thing to do?) Apparently the list is still floating in cyberspace with an old e-mail address I use on occasion. Recently, I have been receiving some very demanding e-mails from some folks insisting that I send them CDr's of titles of mine that are out of print and demos that were barely released except to friends and family. Several are out of Eastern Europe (which are obviously bootleggers) and one of the guys is someone named "Sean Kaufmann". Is he a legit guy or is this a front for the Retrospect Records gang reissuing everything under the sun? I don't do trade mainly because it is a pain in the butt and I got burned by that Manny Comres cornhole pretty bad a decade ago. Thank you. Mertz

I have met all the guys in the band on several occasions and they are incredibly nice and humorous. And no, I am not a hot female, just a mostly bald portly guy in his 40's! Mertz

sometimes questions get so extreme and people are so incredibly anal with them that i just tell them sorry because it looks like no matter what mertz's says they will not be happy if they make the purchase. mertz

mertz loves the love he has spread with this topic. mertz

if you have noticed a new guy called professordark has appeared on ebay based out martinsburg wva. his stock prices and shipping costs all resemble davesmetal. so far 100% feedback since february 2005. contact info ML Productions, LLC" PO Box 2811, Martinsburg, WV 25402 perhaps he bought out dave or it is dave or it someone else altogether mertz

i landed up in rehab (shopaholic) went bankrupt and bald in the process. mertz

the 3 worst countries to sell stuff to: australia - no wonder, england sent all their criminals there! nothing but schyster traders and ebay buyers. greece - until a year ago it was a bastion of fraud at least sonic age records has improved the image. ecuador - maybe their post office owns an ebay shop because nothing ever gets there. don't expect pc answers from mertz i paint with a very broad brush. mertz

thank god we have a free country where people can charge their own prices. if he dies in a pyre of pyromania no big deal. someone in the middle of nowhere might just buy it. everybody is not in the know so to speak. having sold on ebay and gemm in the past i got sick of buyers who wanted to dictate their price and justify it with their own propaganda. they were iggyed and their email address added to the mertz spam list. mertz

mertz is not on the attack just questioning what is going on. how can auction a for bashful go for $400 and auction b at the same time for bashful go for $40. money is not the issue some folks inherit it others earn it and mertz sleeps on his. i still smell a rat.

this "guy" is driving the market up up up. $400 + for bashful that went in another auction the same week for $44. mertz smells something fishy i wonder when some of these cds will show up for auction again and by whom. mertz

object of my affection with jennifer anniston i hated this movie so much i walked out before it was over and my date left me at the theater. mertz

gringo not to offend i made a general comment directed at nobody in particular. when i tried selling on ebay and gemm at one time all i received were emails from shrewd folks trying to talk me out of my collection cheap. i may be underemployed but mertz is no fool.

are some of kiss my discs prices outrageous - yes are some people wealthy / dumb enough to pay them - yes then i applaud pj and company for being smart enough to know how to make money. capitalism works! communism or socialism do not work! if you can't afford the price of something why complain? just like i can't afford an h2 so i drive an old station wagon with faux wood paneling. even warren buffett is a cheapskate. everybody has a certain amount of tight-fistedness in them. if one or two dealers corner the market on a rare cd applaud them for finding it or blame yourself for not being as industrious. i am working for a low wage thus i use shareazaa or kazaa and burn my own rare stuff. could i improve myself yes but i am not very motivated thus i am where i am by my own laziness. mertz
