If there's anything I'm proud of myself about in the Julian II era, its that I've inspired so many to research the email addresses of anyone new who shows up. You just know someone is calling this guy's law firm at some point today.  :D

Wait… you think you created the innovative technique of searching an email address?

KUDOS TO YOU SIR, JULIAN!

For $100, I will be glad to go on ebay, purchase you an autograph for $40-50 (which seems to be the going rate) and ship it to you first class. Are my terms acceptable?

I think I've made it vogue to do so within the limited range of this community, yes.

That's an option I've explored myself, but I would always wonder if it was legit or not.  Plus it'd make for a pretty shitty story if she asked how I got it.

To be fair, you're asking random people on the internet to get it for you. Both of those issues are still very much in play.

It's a risk that can't be completely avoided.  Best I can do is minimize it, and I thought this approach might be a good way to do that.

oh yeah . . . this thread has caught fyer.

I would trust a reputable ebay seller selling an item that appears similar to an untrained eye to google image searched examples of the band's autograph way before I would trust the hooligans that frequent this place. I mean, you showed up and people had your dog's name and your employer in like 4 minutes. You want to send us money? Your address? This is as dangerous as a diabetic swimming in a vat of pure, unadulterated cane sugar.

Thank you for making me realize that my faith in humanity was idealistic and misplaced.

I applaud your investigative skills, very impressive. But unfortunately my amazing dog is not on the table.

Technically, the mission isn't to find the correct goldberg.  But no, that's not the right goldberg.
