'76 FC33 Wanderlodge for sale - Bidding ends sunday.

[Kenneth G Samson]

oh, please!

before listing my coach, i checked previously sold wanderlodges to see
what kind of TERMS were commonly used. I liked yours, brief and to the
point, and decided to model mine after it. you should be flattered,
sir. what is it they say? 'imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.'

There's such ugly, angry people on this forum. it's disappointing.
