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

Barry,

I'm headed for my thesaurus again!

Has even one person walked away as the result of everything that has been revealed to date, and everything that is suspected? I doubt it. Nobody cares, and certainly not in the face of a card up for sale on our list.

It's the perfect sandbox.

But Peter the occasional bout of righteous indignation is good for the soul.

another stupid comment....put the bottle down Dave...

And I should clarify, if this comment was meant to be towards an auction house, I guess it could be warranted. But no one has been banned, EVER, from this board for bashing an auction house, advertiser or not.
