Good idea! We probably need some categories as well - e.g. funniest thread, thread I learned the most from, thread with the best eye candy...

.....the threads (immediately) leading-up to Peter Cs demise, years after, still make me laugh.

15/25 of the top threads, at any one time, were all his.

"So, if Rube Waddell would've married a poodle, what would that do to the value of Ducky Medwick's cards?

Crazy nonsense like that.

No disrespect to the Archive thread, but Chao, in his finest hour, was C-L-A-S-S-I-C.

Bruce can't come on to defend himself because he's been banned. There's something that makes me uncomfortable about giving people free rein to lambast a person, yet denying that person the right to respond. Perhaps the Board should consider a policy that restricts negative comments about people who are banned. Just my two cents.

Bruce just made three deals for some of the finest cards extant on his wantlist since this thread started.

If you decide to do a "best of" forum, It would be appropriate with our devotion to sports and memorabilia to call it the "Hall of fame of Postings".

In reading the open letter to Ted Taylor, I see how active the board used to be compared with lately. Is that because it was an extremely "hot" topic or is it more that board partcipation down?

This board is busier than back then..you just don't notice it because the forum is now broken down into separate sections...it used to be one board for everything.

Mike, the "Open Letter to STAT and Chris Morales" thread was and still is a very hot topic. I wish I had participated in that thread but I was not aware of Net54 until October 2008 when I first doing my YouTube videos.

Hi Corey
Absolutely, and you are correct. I am very tenacious in watching what is said about anyone that can not defend themselves. I see nothing in this thread where Brucii (his own affirmation) is getting lambasted. One tiny bit was the post AFTER yours but it's not that bad either. The fact we are talking about Brucii's idiocy in suing a computer process, to me, does not rise to the level of anyone bashing him. This is absolute fact and he wrote it on the board. He is the one that did it, not us. For us to point it out doesn't mean we are bashing him, we are merely talking about a thread. And lastly, you as much as anyone, should be aware of the bashing emails he has sent around concerning myself, and the irony of that, is that I am the only moderator that has usually taken up for him. So, to your question about a rule concerning bashing folks who can't defend themselves, we are in total agreement, and there is an unwritten rule that I do try to enforce when appropriate.

Thanks for the response Leon. Perhaps I was too limiting in what I said. I think there should also be prosciptions on making fun of banned posters in such a manner that the person if not banned would feel a need to respond and would if permitted to. Also, the references to Bruce in this thread go beyond just the Archive thread. I am mindful of some of the emails you received, but have always felt two wrongs don't make a right, not to mention that you weren't prevented from responding to those emails. Bruce at this point is down and out. I see no need to pile on.

Mark - I really enjoyed the amount of board participation in that thread and your tying the photo to the T200 was great work. I fixed the link to the photos.

There have been some really informative and interesting threads on this Board but for sheer hilarity and making me smile, no one could do it like Bruces pontificating on mixing body fluids and cardboard and the perils therein. Wanting to sue himself (aka Mr. Archive) is a close second.
