As long as you're doing it for the love of the stuff and the chase, no matter how you go about it, you're a brother (or sister) in this crazy endeavor.

This is what I said to begin with. I was not speaking of Josh or any other's collecting, I was talking about the hypothetical situation of UNLIMITED funds, and then only because the thread had turned in that direction. I will stand by everything I've said here, and I only responded to you, John, because I thought BS was the wrong word in this context, and a word I didn't like seeing applied to an opinion I'd expressed. You're one of my favorite Net54 posters, and I've always enjoyed the all too brief moments we've shared together at shows. But I wasn't going to let this go without defending myself just because we're buddies. Read the last sentence of my original post above and tell me we're not on the same page.

Hank as same page a as to balding guys can be I guess.

My BS comment wasn’t fully directed only at your comment alone as much as the tone of this thread. Which was for a lot of people was to be so quick to play down or cast judgment on Josh’s collecting strategy as if it was ultimately not on par with other methods.

Cheers,

John

Agree with you 100% there. Josh's--or anybody else's--collecting approach is his business and his alone. We all do it our own way, and nobody would enjoy seeing theirs criticized or second-guessed.
