    DOWN WITH PIN TRADING FOR GOOD!!!

My number one pet peeve are the fanatics that roll in their cases of pins or wear a pinvest covered with pins. These are the people who wont trade with a kid or anyone else unless they have a LE gold plated first edition premium artists choice prototype pin. They are the ones that ruin it for everyone. As for catering to your every need--Its not all about you ;) especially if I'm in the park. i need the cms to wait on me. --LOL--Actually for me it's all about the kids
