He will either burn out or become a valued member of the collecting community, let him find his way.
Just my 2 cents.

Well said Eric, +1
This guy doesn't fit the "norm" on Net 54, so some members try to make him "conform"
You don't have enough knowledge
You don't know how to spend your money
Don't buy anything for a month
Find an expert
Slow down
We want scans!
Chill out
You post too much
Show your tax return
Be more subtle
You start too many threads
What do you think your reputation is?
Your digging a hole
Come back in a month
Deal with it or don't post
You've ignored our advice
I demand you answer yes or no
Slow down and relax
Its amazing to me the amount of emotion, mostly negative, that fellow "collectors" have spewed at this guy.
Yes he's different. If everything he has said is true, and I have no reason to disbelieve him at this point, then he is an amazing story, and a success story, who has joined "our" hobby. He has the most positive attitude I've seen in a long time.
Is he going real fast? Yes. Go overboard a bit? Yes. So what? The guy is passionate about cards right now and that's a good thing. I don't understand the venom.
Leon, I like this guy and I think you do too. He has agreed to your stipulations with a smile and he's taken all this abuse good naturedly. There is no doubt he is high maintenance, but I'll take an Adrian thread over a PSA sucks thread any day. Randy Trierweiler
