Well folks, I've tried to resolve this with Richard both on and off-list
since September of last year, and given the response above I guess any
further attempts would be a waste of time. Because I used to really enjoy
having discussions with Richard I wanted to avoid doing this, but at a
certain point one has to cut their losses...

[Richard, if and when you decide to let this old crap go and want to
discuss stuff like adults, you've got my Gmail address and know how to
contact me.]

Apparently even you don't know why I made this remark. I make this
remark now because you said the above, on the 19th of April.
The rest of your message I'm not going to respond to because it has
nothing to do with my my remark quoted above. I am simply responding to
your comment.
If someone owns something, then it is theirs to dispose of in any way
they wish. That is what private property is all about. Should they
decide to sell it, scrap it, burn it, smash it with a sledge hammer (VAX
jousting, anyone?), that is their right and noone else has a right to
tell them any differently.
If you think that such things are precious and need to be protected,
then do something about it. Buy them yourself. Start a kickstarter
program to resuce them. Start an initiative to rescue them. Get
sponsors at so-many-cents-a-mile and run in a marathon race to raise the
money to save them. Cut lawns on weekends to raise a purchase fund.
Anything.
Just don't go bitching to the mailing list and then expect someone else
to do it for you.
End of mini-rant.
