Great. I hopeyou produce many fine photos and have lots of fun with it.

Just a hint for the future. Many insurance policies will replace at
replacement value, without regard to depreciation. We had such a clause and
when, a few years ago needed to make a claim because a neighbor drove his
car into our living room, it saved us thousands.

Thanks.
I was fortunate in that the Allstate adjuster calculated replacement
value on list retail, not what I actually paid and claimed. So the
depreciation was calculated on the higher figure, and after the $250
deductible I was only out $139.96 on the claim, and once I have totaled
up all the replacements that should be around $220.

Quit changing the follow-ups when they're set like that. It's not a power
struggle or assault on your virginity FFS. Like, duh. Not everything in life
revolves around you.

Happy shopping.

Look in the mirror and say that.

I don't recall ever seeing anything worthwhile posted by you and this
monotonous complaint of yours about trivial cross-posting tempts me to
add you to my kill file.
