Hi again,

Just a quick note because I have to go eat 
dinner, but... I have to say that cels aren't my 
life. It seems that for some people on this 
forum, it is. I am nice to everyone because I 
like them to be nice to me. I am also nice to 
people because I know that honey attracts more 
flies than vinegar. I have friends in the cel 
community that I don't even collect the same cels 
as they do, and yet being nice to them means that 
we talk about cels, they let me know when they 
see something I might like, and vice versa. It's 
a community thing, working together, liking each 
other, getting along. I think I am a pretty good 
judge of character, I can usually tell if someone 
is being nice to me just for suck-up. Those 
people don't usually last long either as friends 
or as collectors. I would say that the majority 
of the time that isn't the case, there are a lot 
of great people involved in this group. I have 
had friends in the cel community all these years 
and they haven't stopped being my friends just 
because I am no longer a dealer or no longer 
selling or collecting the same things that they 
do. The people I know are really my friends are, 
quite frankly, really my friends. I talk to them 
outside of cel collecting and I do silly things 
like invite them to my wedding ^_^! This includes 
everyone from dealers to collectors. So, 
bascially, what I am saying is that if you think 
that being nice to someone is being fake... it 
just isn't true.

Take care and the best of luck finding your way,
M
