I hestitate even to respond to postings such as yours, filled with misinformation, rumor, and innuendo, but your amazing lack of tact and your crass remarks compel me to respond. If we were to believe your posting of the 25th, then the Japanese, or that group of "Russian businessmen" were in the market for FAE. First, your reaction that there were Russian businessmen comes across as reactionary right wing...Second, how can you say it "obvious" that "only the Japanese could afford it" ?...that statement displays how little you must understand of the financial world. I totally understand why employees of the company, as you put it "can't or won't" answer your questions...why would they even want to talk to you about the internal affairs of their own company? What business is it of yours? I would hope that the museum community at large has the good sense to ignore you. Any information I come across will certainly not be shared with the likes of you...
