[QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 1807610, member: 13307"]It surprised me as well - because I am ALWAYS respectful and courteous, no exceptions.

Probably to people who don't know what they're doing... "I'd like to buy a 1950 proof set." "I have one right here, but you can't look at it before you buy it." "Perfect! I'll take it!"
