I caught it the minute I read it. I know I have some Irish blood in me so maybe that helps pickup on dry British humor. My mom's name was Goodsell and she always told me it was Irish anyway? I don't know for sure, and I really don't care if it is or not.
We talk about old papers and how great they were, and some of them really were great, but many were no better or maybe worse, than many of what's out there now. My concerns when it comes to older papers is their shelf life. I'd take a chance on buying some older Oriental Seagull if it was stored properly, since I know it has a pretty good shelf life as to low fog levels. However, I've been burned on buying some of the other old papers.

As I've scooped up many boxes of old papers and you are 100% right that many were useless when still usable
Paula Strand once said that as soon as he finds a paper he likes they discontinue it!!
