As mentioned there are some outstanding people who accepted the invitation to join LTS like Jay Wolt, Ray Beohm, Wayne Ellis, Frank Bakka, Joe Turrillo, Dave Jacobs and many more. However, in my three day tenure, I recall vividly the most active thread on that board was a direct attack towards a friend of mine. People are certainly entitled to called someone a jerk, but when they start fabricating blatant lies about that person and that person doesn't even have clue he's being crucified, it was all I could stomach and quit in disgust. There was also a second thread as I recall that was crucifying a dealer, which again I knew what was being said was not true. If the people that contributed to those particular threads are less than 1% of its entire membership, then good for LTS.

To me, if the LTS is "the most knowledgeable group of collectors in the hobby" as has been touted by its members, why do they have to go into hiding? It does nothing towards promoting baseball card collecting to the public at large.
