I am in full agreement with Elliot. This board is a wonderful service for the hobby, and ourselves, and it has been abused. It is NOT Elliot's board, it is OUR board. Elliot is just nice enough to put up with our tantrums and bickering and do an excellent, albeit time consuming, job moderating. I will do anything I can to help him in this endeavor (moderating, not bickering ). MY highlighted blue name on this thread gives my work email (I am not too busy right now but hope to be soon) and I will be glad to help moderate for the time being. My email at home, which is on every single other post of mine, is leonl@flash.net, which is not coincidenally my ebay name too. Since I have somehow managed to not spar with Brian Or Doc I will be happy to scan posts before submission. I emailed Elliot last night and asked that he start deleting the anonymous posters posts...the person impersonating other people. That is totally unacceptable. My other biggest fear is that we have very mature, very experienced collectors/dealers/lurkers, with great knowledge, that will go away with all of the fighting about NON-VINTAGE CARD issues. Grading, restoration, and the like are fine topics too but they can also be taken to a personal level, which many posts have done lately. There is no need for that to be an ongoing situation. A little bit of fighting is not a bad thing but the personal attacks and name calling are REDICULOUS. That is what private emails are for, if you must. I know because I have been getting about 15-20 emails at home, a day, concerning the Board. I don't know about ya'll but I want and need the board and want it to stay a fun, informative place. Let's please act like adults AND respect each other.....best regards all...from my igloo
