Gilbert MainesAnd Jeff, you raise an important point:
"OK, but just know that this attitude in general (as well as the frequent chastising of collectors) is exactly what discourages A LOT more knowledgeable people from posting here, which would make Net54 even that much better!
Just my 2 cents - feel free to chastise away."
My take on this is simply that taking this stuff sufficiently seriously to be discouraged from participating because the mix of crazies is not to your liking, is an error in judgement, imho. After all: this is only cards, and in this important hobby, I am indeed Only Gil.
I wish I could make our venue more hospitable than it is because I value the input of others many of whom I know or have dealt with, and perhaps many more that I do not know.
But some take this stuff to heart - don't go E, Daniel - I was just taking a shot 'cause I saw the opening - it is really only a game. Ask Jay.
Please don't be offended by the bravado. Heck, the slabheads stand up for themselves against the bottom feeders. It seems like a fun circus.
There sure is an open sharing of information, unless you question n172 too closely.
Come back E.Daniel, you come back and speak your mind. And I will thwack you every time I can.
