You know what.....the above is very true.
I am guilty of the same thing sometimes when it comes to trivial things in life.
I totally agree that most of the things we complain about are pointless when you have good health and all your friends and family are safe.

Spent plenty of time there with a seriously ill child and wept at the sight of children far sicker than ours.
There's also massive injustices that happen daily in our world...however, this is a board of COLLECTORS and fellow hobbyists who seem to look out for one another or share experiences. I don't remember writing anything that said "Metropolis ruined my life" or "This is the worst thing that has ever happened to anyone".
But what happened exactly? The case wasn't damaged.

Good Post.
It will all come full circle when we are in our 70s and 80s. That`s when we will find out if comic books were good investments, as we try to pay for medicine and healthcare costs to stay out of the nursing homes.

Well hey, let's not bother sharing information with one another from now on about good/bad packing, prices, poor Feebay sellers, etc...since after all, ALL of that is trivial in the scheme of things. Funny though, still no response via email from Metro.

That's called rationalizing, and is irrelevant to the subject matter at hand.
If someone goes to a restaurant and finds a fly in their soup, and then are ignored by the staff and management regarding the issue, should they still not share the information with their friends because some poor unknown child in Libya stepped on a land mine?
Last time I looked, this was a discussion board and not Dr. Phil.

^THANK YOU.
And last I checked, I didn't 'fly off the handle' about it...just seems very unprofessional to not reply, either here or via my first and route, email.
