Judge Dred (Fred)Mike,
I'm not trying to open a can of worms here, nor am I trying to bait you on.
"But somehow because I am not on a personal basis with many of the individuals in here, that makes me somehow less knowledgable, and a target for ridicule."
I'm not sure that this generalization is accurate. I know a few people that post and lurk here but by no means would I (and others here) even begin to assume that someone has little or no knowledge about vintage cards because they are new to this forum or rarely post here. I know a couple of collectors that have little or no interest in this board but their experience and knowledge of vintage cards is above average. If they ever made an initial post on this board then I would hope that nobody would assume that they are ignorant. I actually think that your post is interesting because it does have to do with cards. But, generalizations as the one you made are a bit out of line (even though it may apply to some people - whom, I don't know).
