    I've only just noticed that the section that used to be full of barbed, ill-natured, bitter, vitriolic, hostile, vindictive, defamatory/slanderous, backbiting, snide, spiteful, and catty comments ie...

    I spoke to NZ Asia this morning pointing out that if I could help it, I would rather not take the scope into a H&F store, but just send the scope to them in Nelson directly. However, NZ Asia said...
