Rob, I never meant to make an Online assessment . I know. [:)] I was just following rule 7 of the Foro TOS, which states no good deed is permitted to go unpunished. I was being a spoil sport, I guess. Sorry for coming across that way. The Reyes comment was a joke, BTW. I was reminded of being once shown a violin and saying to the owner, hey that looks like a nice old Tyrolean fiddle, and the owner looked down at me and said, Noooo, it’s a mid 18th century Italian from (I can’t remember which region, I think it was Naples). I looked inside and commented that the label was also of a Tyrolean maker. The owner said, yeah, all labels are fake, this is clearly Italian. I figured it was time to keep my mouth shut, and shortly later excused myself. It was a nice fiddle, I liked it, it was pretty. I’m not an expert, but it was pretty clear it weren’t no 18th century Italian, everything pointed to Tyrolean, and it appeared to be an honest fiddle. So, maybe I was jumping the gun here.
