I too agree with your points Blair. The interent has been great but it has ruined the large regional shows. I sure do miss going to those shows and anticipating with excitement what I might find, socializing with people I had met and just feeling the buzz I had when I walked in the door and looked at all those dealer tables. We used to have a few good shows a year here in Northern California but those are all but a distant memory.

Just wanted to note though, the internet has expanded my collection more than it probably would be otherwise. Allowed for me to meet new friends I would have not met without it. And provides a place for wonderful communities like this one to be possible.
