Yes, I have been called "weird" before and likely will again. I consider it a compliment: considering the grossly degraded and spiritually void state of most of humanity, at present .......... But I have also seen aghast expressions on faces of purchasers when reeking deliverymen, dripping acidic sweat into their $55,000 artcase reproducing pianos, unwrap them from pads that are visibly filthy and emitting an overwhelming stench! Must we be so eager to get our hands on the customers' money that we forget to have any class???????? Is that normal for today? If so, I gladly opt out of "normal".
