"You'll get more info if the request sounded less than a terse 5 word command. And on your first post no less."
Ooh, I like your posting of advice, Gasman. I've thought the same many times, when viewing the messages of first time posters looking for history AND especially value info. At least Steve & Tina get partial credit by adding "Thanks" at the end of their query. That word is many times missing from the post of the info/price seekers. I'm sure the terseness Gasman noted is the result of the texting mentality of many "children" of the internet age. it's simply natural for many younger people (younger than a great number of us here on Old Gas).
Certainly, Tina and Steve could find the answer to the "value" part of their question for themselves by searching the internet, since this can is a reasonably common one and is found for sale periodically. In closing, I would like to thank Steve and Tina for allowing me to vent this Saturday morning. I feel so much better now, and will approach the rest of the day as a kinder, gentler person. John
