I realize that a little resentment can develop 
from long-time posters towards other, more recent 
ones. I also realize that frendships and biases 
develop over time, but there isn't some sort of 
pecking order in effect. If Avery has hurt Debbye 
and Misa somehow by simply stating what, in all 
fairness, appears to be a fact, at least from her 
point of view, maybe it's because she has some 
valid points. No one likes to be proven wrong or 
made to look bad. But in all honesty, I didn't 
see ANYTHING in her posts that seemed to 
be "dissing". The fact of the matter is that a 
very valuable(both monetarily and emotionally) 
cel was damaged in shipping. The question does 
beg to be asked that if it was packaged a bit 
safer, would it still have been damaged? I think 
all Avery was trying to say with her origional 
post was that people should try and be a bit 
careful when they ship these things. I didn't get 
the impression that she was, in any way, 
attacking Debbye. And as to Misa's claim 
that "We" all know who "animiko@animiko.com" is, 
I would like to know who exactly this "We" is. 
I'm sure I'm not the only person who had no clue 
about this until the posts stating that fact. In 
all fairness, I don't think any of us are naive 
enough to believe that ANYONE is going to stop 
kissing up to Debbye and trying to get her to 
part with her cels just because of one getting 
damaged in transit in part due to her packaging 
methods. I resent the implication that Avery will 
have a hard time getting cels she wants due to 
her not sucking up to Misa and Debbye. My advice 
to Avery is to hang in there, and keep posting 
what's on her mind. If people won't sell to her, 
just wait. Eventually, every collector hits a 
slump and needs money. That cell that Collector A 
wouldn't part with today, will probably be that 
much cheaper a few months down the road, when 
that same collector needs money for a nicer cell.
