T206 JACK DUNN....Babe Ruth's 1st manager

For what it's worth (and against my better judgement), I'm mentioning this only because Ted jumped all over Ali for editing a comment, but Ted did pretty much the same thing with his original post.

The very first sentence of Ted's first post originally started with a comment on the horizontal vs. vertical argument of the Dunn card. Then, after many posters, apparently to Ted's chagrin, found that discussion to be more interesting than documenting the life of Jack Dunn, Ted deleted his original horizontal-vertical reference.

The editing of posts can change the perception of the flow of discussion. When Ted later bemoaned the fact that his thread was "hijacked" by the horizontal-vertical debaters, he appeared to have a valid point, because his original comment on the subject -- the first one posted on the thread -- had been deleted.

Ted, I don't desire a pissing contest with you. It just seems that in this case you opened the floor for debate, then got really annoyed when opinions different than yours ensued.
