And I don't get the US mentality of throwing a fit when someone offers some mild criticism instead of over the top praise, but I guess that only shows I'm Dutch ;)
I wouldn't have taken a look at the Hetchins without the commentary, so it certainly served a purpose. I also happen to agree that the 'lets see how many holes we can punch with the new press' look leaves something to be desired. Could be all the more collectible though, just as a misprint banknote
