JoannAddie, you should consider dialing it down a bit. You've already had one thread that was contentious and now are about hip deep in a second in two days.
Everyone wants to be hospitable to newer posters, but in an argument between a newer poster and someone that has been around, the group will pretty much circle the wagons around the person that has been around longer unless that person is way out of line. Dave has been around, and is not way out of line. He is a regular contributor, has some great cards, enthusiastically posts scans, info and tries to help with questions. He is a nice guy that really doesn't have trouble with anyone. If you get in an ongoing fight with Dave, you will lose. It might not seem fair, but he has earned the loyalty of people here. He and I disagreed on the issue yesterday, but when it comes to the people end of it I consider us tight.
And if you take up against Barry around here I'm not sure what will happen, but I think lightning may strike you dead. We don't know. It's never been done. 
He is also highly regarded.
So I hope you follow up your apology to Dave with actions that back it up. Please continue to contribute, but maybe look around and get the lay of the land before getting into confrontations with people.
And folks - fair's fair here. Someone else started a thread this week asking about pricing on a T206. Russ Bright said something about not needing a thread for that and kind of got shouted down for it. I'm not sure what the difference is here. Personally, I think there have been a lot of ticky-tack topics lately like routine pricing questions, parades of ebay auctions with this or that wrong with them, and a lot of "cards-lite" kinds of things. Not a big deal if it's just the ebb and flow - I think it's just the spring lull before the big auctions.

(Oh, and Addie - Marty did something decent and generous yesterday in offering to split the loss on the lost card with you. It would have been a good move on your part to acknowledge that in the thread you started.)
Edited for "duh" grammatical stuff.
