Actually, it's redundant to say a new record is set or established. No need for the new. Any time a record is set, it's new. One of my pet peeves, committed by hack writers and talking heads (not that you're either, Barry).

what about the teapot thread on the old site?

Or the one about debate of Shoeless Joe picture on a T202?

The longest thread ever, on Net54baseball since inception, was


"An Open Letter To Christopher Morales and STAT Authentic"

....In Feb of 2008. It had 805 posts as Peter mentioned. We have a ways to go....

PS...this is new and old Net54 ...and the predecessor to it, the old Fullcount Baseball board, wouldn't have had any "close" to that long....

Cmonnow, only 29 more posts to break the "top 5" for number of posts. Is this thread going to make it? Hopefully not....

[novakjr]

It's been a few days since I've posted here. Let's make it 28 more to crack the top 5.

I feel left out. This thread took hours to read. Interesting and painful to read all at the same time.

I'd be ashamed to keep this post going (guilty obviously) Get a life. NEXT. LET IT GO

Doesn't a new record supersede an old record? Yes, it's slightly redundant but you see it in print on a regular basis, so you can argue it's an accepted form. I could say the Beatles wrote "a new song", or I could say they wrote "a song" and you could assume by the context it's new. Either way works for me.

And of course we had the Joe Jackson thread. That was a whopper!

Hi Barry,
I'm 1/2 way through the Morales thread. I really want to thank you and Peter for helping me locate this. The information in this archive file is very valuable in terms of what I am doing for a customer with those COA's.
If any of you can link me to the Joe Jackson or NY Dinner link they will occupy my up-coming week!
Thank you, me friends!
You are the best!
Bill

Hi Bill- great to see you posting every day! The Joe Jackson thread occurred last year; the NYC dinner thread was in 2007 (I think). But I don't ever use the search function, so somebody else should help you with this one.

Regards, Barry

You also see things like "The card has had it's corners trimmed" on a regular basis, so I guess that's an accepted form, too.

Yes, but "it's" is not an accepted form.

Another redundancy: "What time is it now (as opposed to what time was it two hours ago)?"

I hadn't chimed in yet, but have been following along. Just wanted to be a part of something special here if we break the top 5.

[Peter_Spaeth]

Bill, if you click on "replies" or "views" to the top of the first thread on the main page, it will bring up all the greatest hits.

And we're 90 percent of the way to 500 --- I'm looking forward to Mother's Day to face Stu Miller
