Geode2 Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 quote:Originally posted by Jumpmaster:You're a flaming moron. (most of the post snipped) I think everybody who has been posting to this thread needs to take a deep breath and calm down. Name-calling and flaming don't get anybody anywhere. Jumpmaster: If you think the S&H charges are too high at any particular dealer, then DO NOT BUY THERE. Free market economy, and all that. If their charges are too high, they'll go out of business. Like any business in the USA, they are free to charge whatever the market will stand. Quote Link to comment
+Neuman Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 For anyone who has read jumpmaster's latest rant, I think it speaks for itself. There is no way to rationally respond to such an irrational diatribe - it would appear that we hit a nerve! If all he can do is resort to name calling, spouting generalities and inflating his own ego by telling EVERYONE how stupid they are compared to him, I'll just let him keep on digging that hole. For those of you interested in the Texas geocoin, the shipment has arrived and they should go on sale next week (that is, if I can find a three year old to work on the web page) Thanks for your interest. On a lighter note: A Rice Owl, a Longhorn, and an Aggie are running from the law and all three duck into a warehouse with the cops right on their trail. Before the cops reach the warehouse, all three find a place to hide. The cops walk in and come up to a crate. They kick the crate and the Owl who’s inside goes, “Woof, Woof.” The cops say it’s just a dog and move on to a crate, which the Longhorn is hiding in. The cops kick the crate and the Longhorn goes, “Meow, Meow,” and the cops think that it’s only a cat. Finally the cops come up to a sack that the Aggie is hiding in. The cops kick the sack and the Aggie responds in a deep, slow voice, “Po-ta-toe” [This message was edited by Neuman on June 25, 2002 at 11:37 AM.] Quote Link to comment

+Neuman Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 Yet another substantive post from jumpmaster. He must be getting tired as there was only 1 'nitwit', 1 'moron', one reference to his super intelligence/my lack of any, and absolutely no expletives! Not your typical jumpmaster post. Has anyone other than myself noticed his overwhelming need to confirm his intelligence, manhood, and, basically, his being better than everyone on here? (at least everyone who doesn't agree with him) Do you know how you can tell you're getting close to College Station? The sheep are backed up to the fence!! I know you'll miss me jumpmaster, but I'll be gone for a few days for Reserve Duty. I look forward to your witty rejoinders when I return. Please don't say anything bad about me while I'm gone - it may hurt my feelings!!! Quote Link to comment

+alchemist2000 Posted July 1, 2002 Share Posted July 1, 2002 My Texas geocoins arrived in today's mail. They are gorgeous!! Not only are the coins beautiful, but each one is in a hard plastic see-through case. That is a very nice, unexpected touch....very professional-looking!! If it dries out, we will try to get a few of them placed in one or more of our caches or other caches around the area in the next few days. Thanks, Neuman, they are stupendous. Definitely worth the wait. Alchemist2000 Quote Link to comment

+VentureForth Posted July 10, 2002 Author Share Posted July 10, 2002 According to the State Comptroller's Office, quote:Originally quoted by the FAQ's: Q: Are shipping and freight charges taxable? A: Shipping and freight charges are taxable as part of the price of taxable goods or services. Separately stated charges for US postage are not taxable when it is a reimbursement for the postage incurred to distribute the items sold to third party recipients. I stand corrected. --------------- Go! And don't be afraid to get a little wet! Quote Link to comment
