Posted By: <b>John H.</b><p>Peter, please remind us as to the point of your Bonds homer updates. I think most of us find it quite irritating when we visit this thread to see if someone has something interesting to say and find that it's only another one of your countdown posts. I watched the game last night so I saw him hit it. I would have heard about it this morning if I hadn't have seen it. <br /><br />Believe it or not, Peter, Barry just isn't that popular.<br /><br />John

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>I guess it's my place to answer this question from a few posts above, where you said<br /><br />"Dan,<br /><br />I agree with you a 100%. Just think if we didn't let Barry tell his Seinfield jokes we would never know that he watches reruns religiously. I already know you guys love prewar vintage. Tell me something new tell me what your other passions are.<br /><br />How can you discuss baseball at all without discussing Bonds and the breaking of the most hallowed record in sports. How could this thread be O/T.<br /><br />Peter"<br /><br /><br />The answer to this question is that this is way Off Topic....it doesn't have anything to do with vintage baseball cards. And guess what again....everyone on this board SHOULD love vintage pre-war cards as that is what we discuss. We don't need to tell you anything new discussed on the board because everything is at least approx. 60 years old. We have been discussintg this stuff for the last 9 yrs including the old Fullcount board. I started on it in 1999 so about 8 yrs for me. I appreciate most of your posts but I have to say you are one of the main culprits for so many off topic posts. If you want to discuss what the main focus of this forum is then that is fine....if you don't then there are other places to go to discuss other stuff....We are tightening up a little bit on off topic posts especially since the new memorabilia board has opened. I don't expect a lot of wildly off topics over there either.....lmk if this doesn't make sense and we can discuss it some more. I am very tempted to lock this thread but, believe it or not, I really hate to lock any threads....Please don't take this too personally it goes for everyone....You just seem to be bringing this thread back to life as well as some other OT ones.....<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Why don't you just lock it so it slips off the main page. It has been here now for five weeks...we all know Bonds is going to do it, so why belabor the point?

Posted By: <b>peter chao</b><p>It's time to lock up this thread, otherwise, I'll get another of Barry's grammer lessons. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />Peter

Posted By: <b>Cobby33</b><p>How 'bout syntax (as opposed to a sin tax)? In my household, the sin tax on my card purchases is a proportional equivalent having to go to some sort of jewelry...
