So, you are one of the members here who actually understands what the Colonel writes? it's mostly Geek to me.

This is the fault of my Esperanto to English translation software, which was originally programmed to process Sanskrit to Tagalog. The app was free with the Hebrew to Inuit program, which has been found to be infected with a Russian virus.
Gotta stay ahead of the curve on emerging markets, mark, but the different keyboards can be a challenge.
For some it's easier than others, I found that praying in Hebrew and counting in Arabic gave me a head start.
The problem is not that @Insider2 doesn't speak Geek, it's that he's never gone post-Hellenic and conceptualizes his grades using Roman numerals
If that was clear, let me try again.......

Close. The actual problem is he's been locked away in an Ivory tower and rarely got out to gain your experience in the real world of wizards, sharks, and dragons.

Your grading on these seems OTM

OTM? I have no idea what this means, probably funny?
Anyway, when I started grading, it was much simpler. This coin was considered to be an IMPAIRED PROOF. No more, no less. I'm dying to defend that statement and put my personal "number" on the coin based on published "standards;" however:
My personal grade does not matter as better numismatists than I have graded it PR-64 and a collector has bought it with at least one underbidder.
You think the Colonel writes in a foreign tongue ?
You all should have the honor and privilege to
HEAR him talk at a table at shows - your mind
can turn to Turkish Taffy!

He's just pissed because I got there first to a great company motto he wanted.
"I'll buy your errors if you buy my mistakes".
(Or another even shoddier attempt at deflection).
There was an interesting thread last week about misleading advertising.
Did you know that Swedish meatballs were invented in Turkey?

Speaking of taffy, I'm into my stash of Fralinger's.
