<<PATTAYA, Thailand (CNN) -- Myanmar's military junta has reportedly insisted it does not need help from foreign aid experts, as weather forecasts predict more bad weather this week for the cyclone-devastated country.>> |

I guess the important thing is to maintain a dictatorship at any cost -- even if you don't have any citizens left to oppress because you let them all die. |

I'm curious: Do the folks who request that Leon lock threads they don't like also write to the TV and cable networks, urging them to cancel shows that they find annoying or offensive? Kudos to them if they do. |

The best censorship is always no censorhip, imo. The more transparency there can be the better it is vis a vis "running" the board (I love to use "vis a vis" though I probably use it incorrectly). That being said the board won't get over run with this stuff. This OT is from an every day poster and is relevent to world news so I let it go. Sorry if it offends anyone. It offends me on several levels (the topic, not the request to stop the thread)....best regards |

Marty, While in and of itself this post can be misconstrued as "tasteless". But remember, laughter is often a coping skill used in tragedies such as this. |

I agree with Marty. Using a human tragedy to bash a hobby grading company is in extremely poor taste. Perhaps some of the posters should get a little more perspective in their lives. |

Fanboy statements in comparison to mass suffering and death of actual people is pretty lame. Don't know if you are being sarcastic with the "pulls a PSA" line, but if not, that truely shows the insignificance that you place on those people's lives. I don't usually care about PSA bashing unless it's a blatent lie, but in this case I found it to be in poor taste so I will defend PSA |

Comeon, Jim's post is the best one I have ever read on this site: equating the offensiveness of a joke about the Myanmar tragedy with an insult against PSA, the purported savior of the hobby! That is priceless. |

Not equally offensive or even near equally, but have to use this opportunity to thank PSA fpr bringing in thousands of new collectors and saving the hobby. |

I'm not sure I agree. I started (so long ago, it's hard to remember) collecting what was then considered "shiney" stuff. It's a matter of evolution. I've evolved as many others here from shiney to vintage. While there are exceptions, i.e. a newbie becoming interested in collecting and starting with vintage, I suspect it is the exception and not the rule. |

I am not an old timer in the hobby but I would tend to agree that grading has indeed helped the hobby. I know I have been saved numerous times by SGC spotting something I didn't see. I am sure you are real confident with this card too? |

I am not sure what Doug would say but why don't you get your friend Joe O to comment on it, since his company deemed it "not altered" by putting a number on it? Inquiring minds would like to know.....I can almost hear my phone ringing now and it must be Joe with a belated call back.....Once upon a time..... |
