Yikes, I wasn't aware of the fins. It's probably for a flimsy reason like why a lot of people want elephant tucks and so forth... magical remedy and such...well, elephant parts have real utility...but you know what I mean.. People are probably selling them and buying them for reasons that don't even make sense (not that I agree with those type of sales happening under any circumstances.) Good post, and of course! I enjoy reading about the kind of things you address in these articles. Very professional and educational.
