Posted By: <b>PC</b><p>Bill -- we know you don't care about cards (you said so), but I never said I don't care about autographs. I have 40+ HOF and other autographs (maybe more), across the four major sports, including a few items that might really surprise you. But most regulars here already know that the autograph hobby has been destroyed by fraud. As such, it isn't what we collect, nor is it the focus here (and that isn't going to change, notwithstanding that the three people Mike forced to look at his web page may have benefitted greatly from this thread). <br /><br />What I don't care for is a 600+ off-topic thread that keeps popping-up at the top of this board, with the same repetitive information, from the same group (many of whom are not even autograph collectors, and most of whom have never posted here before, and probably will not participate in anything on-topic to this forum). Further, most of these people, following the slightest questioning of why they are here, felt completley free to denigrate the collecting habits of the board. Sorry, but that's annoying. <br /><br />Morevoer, the ongoing character assasination that is the subject of this thread is very disturbing, even though every word of it may be true. I'm sure the mods did not intend to provide a public forum for business destruction -- IMO, this is a dangerous thing for the mods to permit to continue (or even continue to exist on the board), but that's their call.
