An end of year review.

Tim -

Making errors is part of all collecting. Lordy knows I've made more
than my share; mostly in what I didn't buy rather than what I did.
Passed up a lovely naginata in Pennsylvania for $200 :-(
Later passed on a group for tsuba (8 of them including two
early ko-katchushi) for 1000. That's just the start of my screw ups.
Also bought a bogus I*XL bowie in the 1970s - probably my biggest
"buy" error. Like the man said, you live and learn or you don't live long :-)

Like you said, I also would like to thank all the folks on the board, Lee
and the staff especially. It's been an educational year on the board for
me at least. Also been a banner year for me as I found (and went totally
nuts on) Finnish puukko. A collection which is now totally out of control :-)
