Re: [DML] Value of the dies

["twinenginedmc12" <twinenginedmc12@xxxx>]

Hello.

I agree with everybody, James, Marc, Rich, Bruce, and everyone else 
who thinks that raising the dies is silly, impractical, and/or 
expensive. I'll be glad to help the enterprising and farseeing 
person who decides to do it anyway. Contact me privately. I like 
silly, impractical and expensive projects. I guess that's why I own 
a Delorean. I think it's worthwhile both commercially and from a 
historical standpoint. But then again, I make a point of being wrong 
from time to time.
