What do you bring to the board?

Barry also has a great sense of humor and makes me spell check as much as I can.

Leon brings a good fair sense of balance which is nice. And also bums me out each time he shows that freaking amzing Matty proof.

As for card knowledge I think everyone here has a good grasp, there are some who really stand out with certain card issues...the most humble folks here tend to have the big guns when it comes to knowledge IMO.

This is a very good question, because while most people give a lot of their time and knowledge to the board, quite a few don't, and tend to be a disruption. As I've said on a few occasions, a chatboard is not the right venue for everyone.

My limited knowledge is surpassed by most everyone. I mostly lurk and learn. On the plus side, as far as I know, I have not alienated anyone and have thus far resisted the urge to post my Harry Colon football card in the favorite card thread.

Clayton- nobody who asks a reasonable question about vintage baseball cards ever gets ridiculed. The people who do are usually the ones who don't listen, don't really ask questions, and get into fights with various board members over silly things. Those guys get it, and good.

You're right Barry,now that I think about it,I do not recall a new person being ridiculed for asking a question.I guess that was just me trying to think of a reason why someone would choose to lurk rather than get involved in the forum and participate.

Sincerely,Clayton

I picked up Barry and drove him to the board this morning, so I feel like I've done my part for the day.

[barrysloate]

Thanks Anthony...and the morning commute from San Francisco to Brooklyn can be brutal!

[FUBAR]

I bring good looks , charm, and lame jokes.... plus alot of knowledge on UFC cards that no one else on here collects.

[Howe’s Hunter]

single-minded obsessiveness.

[fkm_bky]

I usually just take information rather than give it, but today I give....in the form of this:

Caution that there is some strong language, but a VERY funny baseball bit.

Good question Dr D. It made me think, and although I am not a
big asset to the board I do enjoy learning about different aspects of
the hobby. I have also made some new friends that I would not
have had it not been fo net54, and for that I say thanks to all.
I hope to finally meet many of you in person at the national this year.
