Finn returns library book more than a century late

[VE6WTF]

HELSINKI (Reuters) - A Finnish library-goer apparently thought 'better late than never' and quietly returned a book on loan for more than 100 years to a library in Vantaa, in southern Finland.

at 10 pennies a week and its 100 years late... thats like 521 dollars in late fees that he skipped out on

I guess I should return the Gutenberg Bible I have. It's in a rare paperback. I'm sure it's worth more than the hardback.

At 10 cents a week for the fine, he owes 520 bucks. I wonder if that's counting for inflation?

How do you know he is a fast typist? If he were to post as many as often as Greg I could see forming that conclusion. I am not saying Glen is not fast, just wondering if you had information to form the conclusion or if you are assuming plus it gave me the opportunity to fire a shot over Greg's bow.

[VE6WTF]

I was assuming,
But maybe assuming he actually types most of his posts is going a bit to far?
