Jim and tbob are right...

Here's what should happen...

1- post #42 should be deleted by the moderator.
2- Bill, gentleman that he is, should stay and feel welcome.
3- this thread should be locked.
4- we move onward.

Moved and Seconded!

I mostly lurk here and never get into any board drama. But I feel compelled to speak on this matter. I have never met Mr. Hedin in person, but I have been in a transaction with him. It is my opinion that Bill is top-shelf and a wonderful asset to not only this board and hobby, but to everyone. His correspondence has led me to believe that he is a fine person and I hope he decides to continue as a member here.

This is my first post of any controversy and I gladly put my name to it.

Sincerly, G. R@ber.t L@ng.br@ke

bill is an incredibly courageous and fine human being and a very good friend to Net 54 and me personally.

Leon et al, please do whatever you can to place the horrible parts of this thread--- all of it, if need be---into some far away garbage dump that can never be opened.

all the best,
barry

Bill, You're a good kid and I hope you stay as well.

Hey Ron, Walmart just received a large shipment of 2011 Topps. Race ya!?

Bill- hope you are well, and my advice is to stay on Net54. I know how important it is to you, and you shouldn't let one guy who none of us know get in your way. He kind of sounds like a troll. Please keep posting, I think everyone wants it that way.

My best,
Barry

What Barry And Joshua said
 

I agree 100%

Bill Stay!!
 

Bill StaY!!!!:)

Bill, I know it is frustrating to deal with that, but please stay. You have too many friends on here and we would all be worse off without you.

Your pal, Rob

yikes
 

As a handful of people know I have been at a company conference the last 4 days, since Wed, and have had very scant access to the board. I have edited out our newest member's post until some more facts come out and I can digest what is going on. I had not seen this thread until a minute ago.....(yesterday I barely was able to get on the internet at all). I will vouch 100% for Bill H and something isn't right here. If, after all of the facts are out, there is an issue, then in all fairness a post could be made. I wish I had seen this sooner but didn't, and this is the first chance I have had to try to intervene. I hope Bill will continue to be a member here as he is one of my favorite guys on the board. regards.

ps....to the original poster- lets take this off the board to private emails for now. You can email me at leonl@flash.net for further discussion. I am sure it will all get squared away satisfactorily.

Bill, I don't know but based on the boards here am missing out on a wonderful human being. Hope to continue seeing posts from you in the future.

I have gotten to know my friend Bill Hedin over the last 4 months and he would never do anything like this poster has said! I think the poster should apologize and then move on ! Bill stay around,its a much better place with you here! Lou

Bill actually
 

asked me to trade with him since he we both dabble in newer cards and shipped to me 1st -- I did explain to him that it would be several weeks before I can finish his package and he is fine with that.

I will be sending him a care package of Red Sox, Marlins (for his nephew) and a few other teams in process.
