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.
