I haven't been on in a while and this is an interesting topic. I too have e-mailed AA about the same thing and got the same response.
When this site first came to fruition, I was rather excited about yet another outlet that brings forth the serious issue of fraud that is destroying this business. It used to have a great deal of value, but now with the public one-0sided fighting with Cyrkin and Epperson, it has become nothing more than a crazed person/s screaming from a hill.
I don't hate Haiti, but why should I send you, Steve Koschal, money when I can go directly to one of many fine charities that are accepting them?
Don't get me wrong. I enjoy reading about the screw ups of the big boys as much as anyone because it shows that trusted authenticators make mistakes. The difference between a Coach's Corner Ed Delahanty and a JSA authenticated version is a $19,800 error (assuming that CCSA gets $200 for one of their Delahantys), but by not making aware of certain issues in the hobby (the sellers and authenticators who never get it right), it becomes what it is now, an agenda driven blog by a competitor, P.A.A.S.
