I'll be one of the first to pat some one on the back when they add something to the hobby.

I'll also be one of the first to point out a detractor, or subtractor (my word ) in our hobby.

I prefer the positivity in the hobby, but if we take the ostrich approach ... history will repeat itself.
I found that out in the 1990 Texas national, when I tried to alert dealers about Danny Dupchek AKA Dr Koos. --- He came back to haunt them.

Let's applaud the positive, but we can't afford to close our eyes to the negative.

Again Damian ... Welcome aboard!

Bravo on the Danny Dubcek,,, I testified against him in a Nassau County, NY criminal case. I testified in the preliminary hearing telling the court that all the autograph items in his store were bogus forgeries. Danny wisely copped a guilty plea before allowing the case to go to trial. He was/(maybe still is) a terrible forger.
