Don't smear someone because he doesn't "get it". |

Alan's position is understandable. This kind of
stuff has value only to a select few. It looks very odd
to outsiders, when they see us carrying on over nothing more than a pile
of old photocopies. After all, collectors don't refer to paper
goods as ephemera* for nothing.
And, frankly - I like it
that way. For the past couple decades, I've bought tons of stuff from
owners who thought it was worthless....or very nearly so. Some of them
thought it so peculiar for me to buy their old "junk" that they would not
have been surprised had I a grown a third eyeball, right on the spot.
