I think what jangles jimmies the most about cutting braze ons off is that there's really no point to it.
It doesn't turn a gas pipe road frame into a tight clearance, aggresive geo track iron with interesting heritage as I imagine the perpetrators of said puppy killings imagine it might, I think it's what I thought when I hacked up an old Raleigh or two.
It doesn't add any value to a frame or make it more desirable, infact quite the opposite.
So yeah, it's this guys property (for now, maybe forever) and he can do what he likes but when you consider it from an aesthetical, financial, and functional point of view I'd say it's quite clear braze ons etc should be left.
