OK - well, I don't post on any other blogs or at any other forums beyond my closed group of mothers because on the interwebby, as in real life, I don't like shouting, I don't like ranting and I don't like personal abuse.
I nearly ran away from here because of d4j's polemics. And I don't much like some of the stuff on this thread, which I'm carefully not reading.
Yeah, I guess I'm a wimp or a coward or something.

Oh I don't care if they are expensive - I'm just saying the NZRFU is in the business for money, not love. So I don't see why anyone else shouldn't be the same.
Disclaimer: I have never onsold a ticket in my life. Though I have extracted many $$$$ from clueless (American) book-buyers.

So now I'm paying you to do a job I didn't want you to do?
Yes. I'm not saying it's fair mind you. I'm just saying that some people pick up first edition, mint condition copies of "The Fountainhead" or 20 front-row tickets to the-spectacle-of-your-choice by luck and/or guile and then leverage that luck/guile.
