Joey, the only thing I hope you take from our interaction here is that I am fiercely protective of this forum, as Net 54 has become a second, extended family to me. The people I have met here are friendly, and kind, and they do everything within their power to keep the hobby as safe as possible. That means watching out for questionable activity on Ebay, or here. I am trying to help in that regard, nothing more.

All I need to know is that you are man enough to admit the mistakes you've made in the past. That takes a lot of guts, and I commend you for it. I'd shake your hand if I could. Secondly, Leon is satisfied with what you've told him, and that's enough for me.

I hope you are an active participant in the forum for years to come. Please accept my apologies. No hard feelings.

As do I, Leon. I don't think there's a single person here, or anywhere for that matter, who hasn't made a mistake at some point in their life. It's how we grow after the fact that defines who we are.

We are in total agreement. And btw, Joey's (hi Joey) earlier misdeeds didn't go unnoticed. For now he isn't allowed on our BST areas nor is he allowed to post about BST stuff on this board. It's going to take some time. He is acting maturely about it too. That says a lot to me.

Being able to do business here, be it trading, or buying and selling, is a privilege. We all trust your instincts, Leon. When you are satisfied that he has amply demonstrated his maturation, we will be ready to welcome him.

No problem at all. I definintly understand where youre coming from and I have made alot of mistakes and I apologize for acting like a douche bag at time and causing problems. Im really enjoying being on here and enjoying the hobby. Thank you for giving me a chance to prove myself on here. It took alot to come back on here and admit my mistakes, but was prepared to do whatever it took to earn a 2nd chance. Thanks again for your feedback. Hope I can learn more about the hobby from you

Joey, I've been on a lot of forums, and I can honestly say you won't find a finer discussion board anywhere. If you are serious, and want to learn about our hobby, this is the place to do it. The breadth of knowledge here is simply astounding, and our members are both helpful, and generous with their time.

The best thing you can do right now is to become an active member of the forum. Engage in the discussions, educate yourself, and as your knowledge of all things pertaining to vintage and pre-war cards and memorabilia grows, help those who are just starting out. This is how you will ingratiate yourself.

Good luck, and most of all, have fun!

I talked with Joey in the past and he disclosed quite a bit of personal information to me. I think he is committed to a change. Card forums make you grow up, and very quickly. I know I have come a very long way from when I first signed up on the CU forums.
