I'm Done with Net54

Sounds like the posts were in the watercooler section, somewhere that I have never visited until today.

It is usually damp around watercoolers, and dampness typically attracts cockroaches. My best advice to everyone out there is to stop hanging around the watercooler, and get back to work (talking baseball cards).

Barry,

Hope you reconsider!

We need more positive and knowledgeable contributors like you!

You are a valuable member on this site!

Say it ain't so, Barry.

Barry sold me my first batch of T206’s many moons ago. One by one the old timers exit the Net. It’s a darn shame.

The forum will be a poorer place without Barry.

If I were that ticked off by seeing posts regarding politics, the last place I would wander into would be a topic about 9/11.

But that's just me.

Political posts are rare on Net54, and usually quickly stopped by Leon or the others.

Ironically the water cooler section is usually free of the drama and negativity found on the main page. The sports section is a fun place to talk about current sports news and big games.

Then maybe it is not a bad place. But I would still feel guilty being there and not earning my salary typing about baseball cards back at my work desk.

Why do people want to announce that they are leaving? Isn’t it really easy just to delete your account or just never long on and/or visit this site again?

I'm staying!

[D.P.Johnson]

I'm leaving the board too.
Gonna go heat up some leftover pizza.
See you back here in a few minutes...

That's because he is always giving away his PSA graded cards.

It does suck to lose a good member and then get a bad one back.
