[Tigers] tiger originality / authenticity

[MAURO D'ANGELO]

Yeah, well, actually,  altruism means caring about others.  What I am
talking about it NOT caring about or for others.  In fact, I9m talking about
slime balls who I  think should be put onto a deserted island within the
polar circle.  I think the reason the TAC is important is to preserve the
integrity of the real cars.    If the monetary value of the real cars is
supported by the registry, that9s an added bonus.  But how does that figure
into this with people who have no intention of selling their cars?  Hey
Spook...where are you located?   Mauro
