Now it makes sense!!
Hehehe. 
yes and no. subject matter yes. writing style no.
It’s amazing just how different multiple personalities (in an individual) can be from each other. They can even live in different states!!
I don’t think it’s him, actually, Jessie. More like a devoted disciple. And birds of a feather…
I was thinking about actually buying one of those whistles. They seem to be some good bargains. But now . . . I don’t know. After reading the comments above, I’m wondering if there is something fishy going on. As in . . . if it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is? Is there something about this seller that I should know before sending him my hard earned dollars?

This seller has touted his own talent repeatedly and scorned those who didn’t like his musical style, has sent angry e-mails to many people including well-respected instrument makers and our Dale, may or may not have more than one board identity (one to defend the other), has outed private sales publicly in search of defense of character, and has talked down to the board at large. He has also donated many CDs to a good cause, publicized here on the board.
While it is likely that buying something from him would be fine, it is also likely that, if something were to go wrong with another sale of his, he might (as himself or as someone else) post your full name and other information about you without asking, in the hope that you would defend him.
This seller likes free whistles, Davey Spillane, and Phil Hardy, really a lot.
I expect the intruments are good, and the prices fair. Beyond that, caveat emptor.
You guys are giving me a severe case of T St C nostalgia. 
This](http://chiffboard.mati.ca/viewtopic.php?t=19335&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=lumberjack&start=15%22%3EThis) one brings back a few memories too 
Note the original poster’s edit. What was edited out was the following phrase: “Thanks for looking.”
uh . . . wow . . .

Of course, the most interesting stuff has been edited out by Talbert, in various threads. Or Barb (his alter ego, with the same legal last name).

I reviewed some of the past threads in which Talbert St. Claire was a contributor, and yes, some of his past messages that are still on the board do seem rather “enthusiastic”, bordering on “evangelistic”, with regard to certain whistles.
The whistles I purchase are few and far between, based on personal preference that I’ve refined over the years. I have had a couple of opportunites to deal with Talbert, and my experience with him has been nothing but forthright, and conducted in a professional manner. I am very selective when it comes to dealing with individuals who I know only from their past interaction with this board. I have not had any problems with Talbert, and I appreciate his involvement in the “whistle community”.

You must be really boring! Try to be FUNNIER! I recently had a number of folks drop me emails telling me to avoid you, believe it or not! Board members can sense a cool cat from a WANKER. You seem VERY NEGATIVE ABOUT JOKES AND OTHER’S OPINIONS. It’s true we all here kid around a lot and that’s a positive thing! WE LOVE WHAT WE DO AND HAVE A REAL PASSION FOR POSTING ON THE CHIFFBOARD. Tal, please refuse to be at odds with us, and try to enjoy everyone on the board for whatever it’s worth! Try to act more MATURE. The chiffboard is a beautiful place and meant to be fun so enjoy our community and take your mind off yourself and your PRECIOUS EGO! On the other hand some people just never learn. [wink]

Sorry I had to quote this, but when Peter posted that link I almost fell off my chair. Bloomfield, you got my weekend off to a great start.
EDIT: Not that I approve of flame wars or have anything against Talbert, the above post just made me laugh.
