It's a shame to lose people. As one who is almost exclusively a lurker, I enjoy the varied opinions on the board. The debating (when at least somewhat civil) is very informative for someone like me who is less in the know than most regular posters. People who are willing to take a stance and defend it are a real asset to the board. The hobby is made up of people will all different interests and motivations, and it's good for all of them to be represented here. However, because this is a hobby, people are going to collect in the manner that they most enjoy. If one takes an intolerant view of another's collecting style, he had better be ready to take some heat.

While we're on the topic of people who aren't posting (awkward transition), where is Frank Ward? I thought he was the master of civility and always kept the discussion on cards.
