Hi Bob- good to see you posting and hope you are well. Haven't spoken to you in awhile. I intended to post this last night when Net54 suddenly went down.

I first wanted to mention that I have been working with Don Fluckinger and Justin Moet on the 2008 Standard Catalog. Nobody can do the book as well as you did, so they have asked some hobby veterans for their assitance. Hopefully next year's guide will employ the same high standards of the past.

I also wanted to make one comment about SCD. I was a subscriber for over 20 years, even after the magazine started to get a lot smaller. But it was one odious policy that caused me to cancel my subscription. When SCD started to allow front cover advertising, and a certain high profile dealer was shown flashing a wad of $100 bills with that same phony smile almost every week, I took offense and bailed out. I thought that it looked desperate and was the epitome of bad taste. Inside the magazine was one thing, but when it went to the front cover it crossed the line.
