Have You Left The Net54 Community?
Apart from being banned by the management there are numerous other reasons, no doubt, why folks have left the Forum and have moved on to less worthwhile pursuits. So if you have left the Forum, please tell us why. What would it take to get you back? On the other hand there may be members who would like to join you where you are now (in a better place?). Remember that Net54 cares, not only about you, but also about your cards and memorabilia as well.

I have a friend who left the forum for a while. But it just turned out he was in the bathroom. And he had his iPad with him, and was reading the forum while in there. So he never really left.
Yeah, definitely a friend of mine. |

I left the PSA community. They removed me, but it was like "You cant fire me, I quit deal". I was tired of being constantly harrassed on there. My time is over, and I can go back if so desired, but I have no desire to. That board has really gone downhill in recent years, IMHO.

I guess I don't post as much because I don't find the board as interesting as it once was. Many of the best posters have left, and I think that detracts a little. Nothing you can do about it. People come and go...talking of Michelangelo.

I was a many times a day visitor and poster. I especially liked the BST on the site, until...
I had a disagreement with a seller. I was interested in a $50 card, and was in discussions with him. The price was already strong, then after we had kinda agreed on the price, he wanted $5 for shipping. I said no and walked away, the seller ran to Leon. Leon supported the seller 110%, and was quite condescending to me about it. It was silly of the seller to make a big deal for a) a small card, b) a commodity type card that can be sold anywhere for the market price. To shut everyone up about it, I paid for the card, immediately sold it on ebay for a nearly identical price, and just dropped the site. I have visited maybe twice in the last year since. |

Quite pointy in places
That's it! The posting of this pointless thread has prompted me to post my final pointless post. Thanks a LOT Frank for causing this to happen.

That was the "cruellest" post (I think only Peter and I know what we are talking about).

Leaving
I can't leave. I signed a multi-year contract with Leon. I may end up getting traded to another forum.

I recall a parody that substituted Joe DiMaggio for Michelangelo.

You probably have the original manuscripts of his poems somewhere in your archive.

I have tried to leave several times but I can't.
Apparently I can check out any time I like but can never leave. All kidding aside, I really like this place. Was on blowout forums for awhile and the level of BS and people jumping all over you for breaking the "rules". And people calling foul if you don't have your cards priced "way below EBay". This is a good place in my opinion.

The Four Quartets would no doubt have more appeal on a Football Forum.

"Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio? Our nation turns it's lonely eyes to you..."
I remember reading an interview with DiMaggio, who said when he first heard that song, he exclaimed to himself "I didn't know I went anywhere." After that he was back on TV as Mr. Coffee.

Nah, I'm more of a Shakespeare guy. No manuscripts, but I have something like 800 Shakespeare-related books.

So in your informed opinion did someone else write the works attributed to Shakespeare?

A little bit of Trivia......
Re....." Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio? Our nation turns it's lonely eyes to you "
Initially, Joe D was not too happy about his name being in Simon and Garfunkel's song. But, Joe's agent advised Joe that it would be good publicity for him. So, Joe OK'd it. But, Joe refused to allow these lyrics to be sung in the movie (The Graduate). And, sure enough, the lyrics are not included in the song featured in the movie. TED Z . |

Legally, they wouldn't have needed his permission, but I'm guessing they wanted his blessing anyway out of respect. Weird Al Yankovic always asks the original singers of his parody songs for permission, and won't do a parody without that permission, even though legally his parodies are covered under fair use.

I get asked that all the time, but it's hard to pick out one play as my "favorite". Sometimes I say Henry IV part 1, because it mixes comedy and tragedy and has one of Shakespeare's greatest characters in Falstaff.

Hi Barry,
You literary dileliottante, you! I know what you are talking about- I assume I am one of those scintillating posters who isn't around as much that you miss so much.... |

How could anyone leave this forum? A directionless thread turns into a discussion on past members, rival forums, Shakespeare, Simon and Garfunkel, Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams! Classic stuff! Exactly why we're all here!

The Merchant of Venice: "The quality of mercy is not strained. It droppeth like the gentle rain from heaven upon the place beneath..."
The entire speech is still ingrained in my head after memorizing it for high school... 25 years later!
