   You expected me to check? You did nothing to convey such an expectation.    
   And ... how? Even if there was a comic store close to me (there isn't),    
   I couldn't conclude from something's absence there that nothing of the    
   sort existed. And I certainly wouldn't drop everything in the middle of    
   catching up newsgroups and go there, at a cost of half an hour of time    
   and several dollars worth of gasoline, just to avoid you accusing me of    
   trolling, regardless.   
      
   Followups set to remove the Star Trek group (again) as this has nothing    
   to do with Star Trek.
