Kill?
the hobby will not die. It may well, at some point, lose its preoccupation with(1)
grades and grading,(2) competitive oneupsmanship,(3) ad hominem arguments,(4) illusions that avocations must be remunerative vocations at all costs,(5) expertise becoming synonymous with ruthless, retaliatory efforts backed by perfect card corners or the lack thereof, and,(6)the unrelenting desire to win and gain no matter the harm to the hobby or to another. I like that Pete U. described the hobby as the beloved hobby. Losing the preoccupations with the aforementioned may well renew, even revivify, our own relationship with the beloved. Nothing will kill that. IMHO all the best, barry
