and I promise this to be my last word on the subject.

When you come to this board, from CU or many others, the thing that stands out is the focus on the topic it was intended for (Pre WW2 vintage baseball cards) and the depth and quality of knowledge that is expressed.
There are some seriously bright and well informed long time collectors who participate and the topics tend to hard core card minutiae that exposes new understanding in the hobby.
Swearing is out.
Off topic is supposed to be scarce.
The casual banter limited smart and funny.

If new posters want to change the tenor of the board to more closely resemble the casual drifting and frankly boring nature of a CU, you might enjoy the new fraternity feel but lose a whole lot of illumination.

If and when this board starts to feel that way to me, I'll no doubt stop posting or even dropping by to read.....after all, I've got friends and family to chit chat to all day - I come here to learn. Smiles laughs and jabs along the way, sure, but primarily to be more informed than I currently am.
