Jim Crandell's personal thread

Thank you everyone(except for Dave) for the nice comments.

I am happy to have my own thread. People who don't care about hobby issues do not have to open this thread and when there is something that is important I will just post it here.

Dave, I would dispute the allegation that I regularly ruin perfectly good threads. In fact, I would say it is more vice versa. I apologized twice for jumping into this one and ruining it. I'm sorry but I do not do it regularly.

Jim is right on the money. Why have a private conversation where only I get the answers. I am not asking him questions that are about my collection or individual concerns I have. I am asking him quiestions about his company's policies and what they have done in the past. It is in some peoples vested interest on this board to see these questions swept under the rug and we have heard from certain of them. Their style tends to be to criticize or attack me and then change the subject(like why don't I send in my own slabbed cards for regrading). But, the truth has a funny way of coming out and I would bet that as long as Doug avoids answering the tough questions on a public forum that it will hurt his business. Heck, its hurtintg it already.
