E, DanielThis forum used to be addictive to me, even at times when less than useful posters hung out and bragged or abused or just sounded plain dumb.
But the last few weeks since Marshall's arrival I've found it awfully easy to stay away. Maybe check in once a day. Get turned off by a Barkman blog joined in by a few youngish sounding and less than vintage card focussed posse members, and then I'd leave without wanting to say or post anything.
I too have noticed that quite a number of the Net54 family who kept the bb card threads humming with humor and info. have disappeared, most likely just put off by MB's presence and awaiting his departure.
Leon, you may have felt a personal connection to Marshall and his brash style, but why would you want to lose what is essentially good about the forum and have its tenor changed so dramatically? Wouldn't you rather have a well informed group who largely enjoys eachothers company and knowledge than a mosh pit of voices who treat this as an open mike blog?
You might want him as your drinking buddy - me I prefer the company of people I would feel safe leaving my wife and children around......
This MB guy - absolutely definitely not.
