Hi Guys,

I'm always puzzled when I see these badges. Who are the people that get fooled by these items. Probably the same people that bought PALM stock 2 years ago at $198 a share. To much money but no brains

I know! I know!

Philippe-- the answers are:

1) people who assume that having money = having brains AND

2) those people who think that because THEY have MORE money, they have MORE brains AND

3) "Investors" who do not need to worry about "study," because it is All About Endless Resale-For-Spectacular-Profit so who CARES what the JUNK is, as long as it is EXPENSIVE so some other foo... "investor" will buy it for Even More AND

4) (ahem) physically "deficient" people who are (ahem) compensating by bragging rights to (ahem) "big" collections AND

5) "Trophy" collectors for whom "ordinary" (their quotes, not mine) is just--sniff!--not good enough for "special" people like they obviously are (see #s 1-3-- none will ever admit to #4 )

See? Simple explanations to complex psychological pathologies from Doctor Ricky

The English author of German militaria guides and his tame master jeweller who are responsible for making these diamond badges could tell you! Lots of idiots are seduced by this junk.
