who else feels like crying,screaming, and all of the above? (Sun Aug 27 22:29:31 2000 )

I know this has been discussed before but Im bring 
it up again because we are allowed to and besides I 
need to vent some frustration...

I know I am not the only one who has been watching 
yahoo and seen whats happening to those cels that 
certain people are winning, particularly batsukai 
(or whatever his name is)( POITN HERE: SAITO DOES 
NOT FALL UNDER THIS CATEGORY!)...I see cels from 
tenchi plus others being repeatadly bought and then 
go straight to ebay for 7-8 times the amount of 
which people are buying...I know, i know I ve heard 
it all before that "they bought it its their choice 
to do what they want" and "dont look dont buy" and 
"there is nothing you can do about it"...but i need 
to let my anger out not only about this but just 
the way things are going since freakin cartoon 
network put tenchi on (come on 210 for KAGATO?!? 
(nothing against you ken Im happy youll be getting 
that much money for a secondary charcter), and 
other stations putting shows up.  I cant possibly 
be the only one who is angered by someone making 
SHEER PROFIT OFF OF CELS; yes its on demand but 
people like that sicken and outrage me! I myself 
have noticed that someone bought a cel from Nick 
during the cel drive and put it up on ebay with a 
reserve on it 5 times what they paid him(i did 
inform him of this)!

IM coming flat out and saying ITS NOT FAIR!  I 
always felt that being into anime was like being 
part of some special club..I always felt happy to 
tell people what exactly "anime" was and to explain 
what an otaku was..but now since anime has hit tv 
like crazy I dont feel like its some "secret" club 
anymore..everyone and their mom knows what it is 
and its upsetting..Sure the idea of sharing it with 
people was great but, probably deep down,  I was 
happy that some people just didnt get into or even 
understand it because in a way it made me feel 
happy that I had an unusual hobby that people didnt 
know about.  

Now since all this hoop lah and all, everything is 
going up in price and Im not just talking about 
cels (well more particularly the cels, but anything 
anime in general), you can bash me all you want but 
it really feels like I wanna cry because of all 
this stuf happening...dont even think of blaming it 
on "I didnt get a certain  cel that I wanted" 
because it never has come down to me moanin and 
complainin about it...I may get upset about 
something like that but I can be very patient until 
another cel like it becomes available or wait for 
something even better to come along that ive been 
wanting more (WAI! WAI! chun li!)..

I want to hear what you all think of this because I 
know absolutely none of you cant care what going on
