Dan MathewsonGeez. I don't think there's any question that this is Elliot's board to administer. And, I don't think there's any question to the fact that Elliot is doing a terrific job of it.
But, as the administrator/law enforcer/legislator, when he lays down a new "statute" for us to play by, I think he fully expects ot hear people's opinions on it, whether they agree or not. I think Elliot has been historically quite good about taking praise and constructive criticism.
Elliot is lucky as of late, as there has been little need for any "refereeing" on his part. It must be nice to kick back and enjoy... Nevertheless, I think it's the opinion of several members who post on this Board that perhaps the last thing was too much legislation where it wasn't needed. You can't have a law for every little thing that might happen, even in the real world, and we don't tend to make 'em until they're needed. Here it doesn't seem like anything was needed, no harm to anyone, no foul. In fact, the threads were informative, they were being heavily trafficked/used/responded to, it was in reference to Vintage Cards and collecting...they really seemed ok and not "out of line" to me. And, like Jay said, if you don't want to read them, you can pass over them if the topic is not of particular interest to you personally.
