     An important message before anymore, far all art dealers anywhere:  I would like to confess at this moment the reason I have had such a hard time with you. Everything I have ever heard about any art dealer anywhere is that you, and all others like you, are no more than the ugliest, and greediest people on the face of the earth. Thar's all I have ever heard sbout you. You have no compassion for anybody. You lie and cheat others most of the time. No, all of the time? You have also borne false wittness against another person?  This is the reason for it. Who is up to this challenge, to "deal" with a truly honest soul, and a very old soul I am now.
