Revisiting the T206 Wagner "strip"

[GoSoxBoSox]

Grow up guys.

Ted asked us gentlemen to check our printers and I did. It's just that I find that checking the number of color printer cartridges in the year 2010 to be totally irrelevant to the issue at hand and I said so.

I fail to see how that is seen as me being uncivil?

To each his own, I guess.

A nice polite discussion on the strip would be good. It's cardboard guys. We are all passionate collectors. Lets quit making it so personal. It's not. It's a baseball card discussion. No one is going to be better or worse because of it. I know Tom a little bit and Ted a little bit more. You are both nice guys....and I am sure in person you will shake hands and have a polite discussion without anyone getting defensive. Lets try to do it here too....best regards

Agreed. Ted made a very fair and civil post and was needlessly attacked for it.

This has been a fascinating thread for many reasons, and the last 24 hours have been filled with information. Kudos to mkdltn (that's not your real name, is it?) for some incredibly helpful information on the early color printing process. Might I suggest that at the least it should be archived as it is useful information and a valuable resource.

All that said, I am amazed that we are approaching 150 posts on a thread dealing with whether or not this is a continuous strip or a amalgamation of parts. Pretty amazing.

I think Tom was sort of written off by Ted as a "newbie" who didn't know what he was talking about, maybe five or six pages ago. As a friend of Tom's, when I read that, it stung. Had it been me, I'd be a little belligerent towards Ted as well.

As an acquaintance of Ted's, I think this debate has really been put to bed for quite some time, and I can't understand why it keeps being brought up. It seems less out of a desire for a scholarly debate, and more out of stubbornness. Every logical argument is being illogically refuted or ignored, and I don't understand why.

So maybe some of us are getting a little frayed as a result.

Perhaps we should have a poll?

I was kind of thinking the same thing. It seems like everyone has come to their own conclusion and if they haven't changed their minds by now they probably aren't going to.

I agree with you wholeheartedly. I'm a lover, not a fighter.

However, I must say that for Barry to say that Ted was "needlessly attacked" makes me laugh out loud. I was called a "NEWBIE" and looked down upon by Ted immediately when I questioned him. Everytime anybody calls Ted's on his "facts" he cries foul intead of answering the questions with logical observations (because nobody will ever have facts in this particular case). Frank makes ever attempt to push me aside without bringing ANYTHING to the table. He hasn't even held the proof strip to examine it. But, at least Frank doesn't act like what he has seen in scans is "fact". Thank you for that Frank.

Just because you fella's know a thing about me doesn't mean I haven't been around for a long time. Many people here know me regardless of how often I post on N54. I did hold the strip and I did examine it thoroughly. That is the only reason I chimed in. I have posted about my observations and many many people apparently agree with those observations.

The difference between Ted and I, in this case, is that I call what I saw "observations" while he calls them "facts". Also, I try to help answer his issues about the strip while he continually ignores everybodys logical observations that refute his "facts" (post #128, 129, 130, 131, and 136 to name the most recent). That's all.

I find it entertaining when I run into this type of person. He does a little bit of homework and appoints himself the expert. heh

Anyway, I believe our point about Ted's opinion here has been made. I'm done with this now Leon as I'm sure nothing will change if we continue to ask questions. I apologize if this caused a disturbance on your watch.

Tom- sorry then for that. This thread is already too long for me to remember posts made several days ago (or whenever). I didn't realize you and Ted were already at it. I apologize for it.

No problem at all Barry. I certainly understand.
