I was simply asking a question and my question was very legitimate considering the growing popularity of photo collecting. Don't be stuck in the past man.
Welcome to Net54 Fandom, my name is Doug, and I'm occasionally grumpy in an old man shouting at the clouds kind of way, which is kind of funny because I've been that way since well before I was an old man. Unless younger than 10 is considered old.

You're right it doesn't matter how long you have been here before you can make suggestions, but it's bad form at the very least to walk into somebody's house and ask if they have ever thought about rearranging the furniture, then being offended when they say they like it they way it is.

There are photo threads in the memorabilia section, just as there are pin threads and pennant threads, one of the pennant threads is approaching TWO MILLION views, yet neither pins not pennants have their own section.

We could have separate sections for every individual thing that we collect, but most of us think things work pretty well as they are, and occasionally changes are made.

You sound more threatened by the past than Leon is stuck in it, if searching the forum for your interests is too complicated for you, then take a deep breath, relax, and dive in, I'm confident that you will enjoy your time here.

Take care,
Doug


PS - that Aaron ball is pretty cool, but I will need more convincing that Guy Morton was only in camp (and happened to play) for one day. I'm not saying it didn't happen that way, I'm just saying I need more info. Either way it's a neat ball.

PPS - there are people on here who have been researching specific thing for years if not decades, so while I appreciate the time and effort you put into researching that ball, two weeks isn't a time frame that I would acknowledge as "relentless".

PPS - welcome again, and I look forward to seeing more of your finds and conversing about the stuff that interests all of us.

PPPS - please don't take my attempts at constructive criticism the wrong way, I tend to be pretty blunt with my thoughts, while meaning no ill will (unless you're a Giants fan, hahahaha. (Sorry Rob, I had to go there)
