I guess my self-reflection I would consider myself more of a taker than a giver.... especially here where there is so much to take.

If there is not a dinner....
I hope we still get together in some form - so that I could buy you a drink or three.

The only cards I buy and know anything about are the t206's. There is no way that I can say anything constructive about any of the caramel sets, exhibits etc. Other than the posts about people inquiring about certain front and back combinations, there is really nothing that I can add. Sorry for being a taker.

I don't need to speak for Leon, but I think he is being misunderstood. I believe he is referring to people who never have anything to offer the board about vintage baseball cards, but like to air out their complaints about being stiffed by auction houses, or ragging on PSA. If you want to hang your personal laundry without ever offering some good baseball card knowledge, then you are a taker. If you post occasionally, but always do so intelligently, all is fine.

As Barry said takers use the board for a soap box to air their grievances but don't actually contribute anything constructive to the community.

Takers also are those with knowledge that use the board to gain more knowledge from information provided by others without ever giving back.

I think Barry nailed it. I think it's even more telling if you contrast the main boards with the BST. I can think of several members who use the BST as an arm of their business plan, marketing division. I am aware that some are long time dealers/collectors who NEVER post on the main board and/or offer anything to the group.

I think of all of the posters on this thread as "regular" board members and, by definition, if you are reading and reacting to this thread, you're probably OK.

I believe the guys Leon is referring to would never even bother to open this thread, so they won't be offended.

Instigators and antagonizers will have their own dinner. I am sure Jeff will be sponsoring that one...

Actually Jim, you are one of our best members and openly share your knowledge and hobby experiences. You rarely get under my skin which is more than I can say for some members...But I have been known to be thin skinned before.

Oh, I knew I was OK on the "participation" grade. I thought I was in trouble on the "Instigators and antagonizers" scoring.
