What appears to go wrong on all of Bruce's posts is not the content, although I don't feel that most of the board members really want to analyze the financial end of this hobby. It's instead the condescending tone.

Instead of ingratiating himself with board members, he antagonizes them. I know he may disagree with that but that's my take. Then it just becomes a free-for-all. Posters start ragging on him, he rags back, and often all hell breaks loose. This has happened far too many times on Bruce's threads not to notice the pattern.

it's a shame too. This could have been an excellent thread. I actually really enjoyed the analysis portion of his post. I do disagree with the total number of collectors, however. Has to be smaller than what he said.
