In an earlier post someone wrote that Jay is a "contrarian". I agree. My dad is the same way...he loves to debate so he throws out unpopular ideas to get things going. This may not be Jay's intention but but it is what happens nevertheless. He can also be obnoxious and I think he realizes this. This being said, I like to read Jay's posts. When he writes about cards he is informative and when he makes posts that he knows others won't like he gets a lively debate going. I think it would be a mistake to ban him and to Leon's credit he has resisted that obvious temptation.

Leon seems to do a great job as moderator but if he is taking advertising $$$ from auction houses he should avoid recommending (or appearing to recommend) one or the other publicly. A simple solution would be to send a private e-mail or to dispense the advice through a third party (another forum member).
