SCD actively seeking Pre-War Card Columnist

Neither Chris Nerat, nor T.S. O'Connell, nor any other member of the SCD editorial staff has an iota of input into the situation relative to Coach's Corner or any other advertiser, for that matter.

Decisions relative to continued advertising privileges rest in the hands of (in ascending order of rank) publisher Dean Listle, group publisher Jeff Pozorski and F+W Magazine Group president David Blansfield. You can address your concerns about advertising issues with them, but I assure you that unless you have a solid plan to replace the revenue that would be lost by banning CC, there is zero chance they will take such action.

Some of the same line-up who have piped up negatively on this thread are long-time SCD bashers, never missing a chance to bemoan the lack of quality vintage editorial matter, but when the paper's editors make a genuine effort to bolster that area, the effort is met with largely puerile sarcasm. (You like that word "puerile?" Olbermann used it on me once . . . I had to look it up.)

As for Ted Taylor "column" that appears frequently, that is totally unpaid press release material. Do you really think that if the "real" auction houses are accorded space for their pre- and post-auction press releases, that the editors can refuse management's demand for similar treatment of SCD biggest advertiser?

If you can't contribute anything meaningful to SCD, or to threads about SCD, other than tired re-hash of well-known grievances, maybe you should just find another whipping boy.
