[Tigers] tiger originality / authenticity

[MAURO D'ANGELO]

Below was a message I sent this morning but no one could read...

Tom,
 
Even though the way you first wrote it did leave open a slight possibility
of misunderstanding, I knew exactly what you meant the first time. I truly
hate to see a guy feel like he's done something wrong when he has not!
 
It's very clear that when and if the TAC inspectors don't find enough
evidence to authenticate a particular car, they will just say so and walk
away from it -- end of story.  It's also very clear that the TAC registry is
not meant to list unverifiable or questionable cars in any way.  I think the
potential liability issues such a (thankfully nonexistent) list would cause
would be quite astounding in today's highly litigious society.  I think that
the way they've been doing TACs is a very fair and safe way to do it.  Of
course, I realize that opinions like mine are like a certain body part
(everybody has one).  Cheers.  Mauro
