Mr. Miller:

Please excuse some of our board members. Personally, it appeared exactly as originally explained...an eighth grader trying to: 1) complete a class assignment, 2) have fun on a board that he personally appreciates, and 3) learn a little something along the way. BUT, some of our board members are a bit on the paranoid side. There are VBC board members spread all over America, as I type this, sitting at their desktops, reading the board, all the while with tin foil on their heads so the government doesn't read their thoughts. (You do know that the government is hovering overhead in their stealth helicopters at this precise moment )

Behrens (the Jay variety that is) may have to watch what he says now that he knows he is a kid's role model. It's a burden, but one I know he will handle with dignity and responsibility.

I'll just keep doing what I do. If I change because of this, he may not want me as a role model. Hopefully, just a role model as a collector and not a way to live your life. Poor dad would pull his hair out if young Jason we to go out and do all the crazy things I did in my 20s. I do highly recomend learning another language and spending some time overseas.

I love pinatas. You get to beat the crap of something and get rewarded with candy.

Jay- I'm with you. For two cents I could throw in the towel too and just lead a simpler life. I could do without all the aggravation. And I also welcome Jason to the board- at that age you can still be idealistic; me, I'm just looking for a rocking chair and a quiet corner of the world.

Barry,

What could be easier and more enjoyable than what your currently doing. Traveling and visiting people in the boondocks that have baseball memorabilia that they have no idea what they are going to do with.

And then on auction night, you can watch crazy people throw money at all the items you picked up on your trips.

Sounds like the life to me.

Jason- If you have an interest in helping people and making sure that we are able to maintain our freedom to choose and speak and act as we like (within the rules), you should not be so quick to believe becoming a lawyer is a bad thing. Plus you will be able to also make a good living and have the money to buy the cards you like
Most lawyers I know have a great sense of humor and are not stuffy and arrogant (although some are, as they are in all professions). Don't give up on thinking about being a lawyer, it is a rewarding profession.

Bob, I don't know where I heard this, but I know I heard it recently....."Who would want to become a lawyer??? That's like choosing to do homework as a profession."
