He wont respond to us or speak -

has anyone ever spoken to Ben --?

we come in peace just looking to have a transparent environment for all

we are happy to be a part of the NET54 forum and we are on the verge of our first deal on here ! --will post the results and our heavy-duty trade partner will do the same --

here to #1 have fun #2 buy cards #3 sell a few

I don't understand the purpose of this thread considering this question was already asked, responded to by BNorth, and in turn responded to by you again Sunday evening.

Agreed. Why does it matter if he has not met anyone in person? Does that make his comments about your dealings any more/less valid?

Ps: I have never met "the other Ben" for the record.

I'm not a Ben knower in real life. But I play one on TV.

I could be wrong, but probably not. I just have a funny feeling with this Topps-aholic member. His recent posts, his use of the word "we' and "us", his calling out other members, etc. Just throwing that out there....

We think Ben (or perhaps Toppsaholic) may be related to Bruce.

I have have been a member for a few years with my real name posted the entire time. I am also the only person to use my account.

Now the other user name has more than one person using it and who knows what their real names are.

Like other forums I've been on less classy then this one, perhaps Leon needs to implement a "Smacktalk" section, so the members here can take out their frustrations on one another outside of the Main area of the site.

I know Ben North. Great guy, pleasure to deal with, fun to talk to. Wouldn't say it if it wasn't true. Too many dill holes in this world, Ben's not one of them, Toppsaholic, strive not to be another one. Let it go.

I purchased an item from Toppsaholic on eBay a few months ago. Smooth transaction. The PayPal payment went to Mathew Zimmerman.

I agree about the cowbells.

I've met Ben Linus. He was born on the island and has spent more time here than anyone. However, don't be fooled by his appearance. He's calculating and diabolical. He once convinced me that I was talking to an omnipotent force named Jacob, but it turned out I was only speaking to an empty chair. Somehow he remains a candidate.

Four responses in a row? I'm starting to think this is really Jeff Dunham.
