I like both Cody and Jonathan a lot, sorry this happened.

There is at least one person frequently posting to this thread who I wish would get banned from the site, though.

Go back to the very old Full Count Board days (pre-Net 54) where that message board dissolved into a morass of name calling and the focus on vintage cards went away.

The rule, and it is in my opinion, is the posting of a real name if you make certain comments is one which has made this board stronger because if you say something you are, in a way, asked to back it up instead of just typing where no one knows who you are.

John, on this one, you frankly don't have a leg to stand on and there are ways to disguise your name with a symbol here and there. There are people on the board who do that which does help prevent the google searches. Look at how Vintage Vern and Brent G did their names as examples.

Rich, absolutely correct. Upon legal advise that I faced a potential liability for sponsoring the forum, I felt it necessary to shut it before somebody got killed. Joking, of course, but things got nasty fast and vintage cards went somewhere else.
Leon, you and I talked about this many moons ago at the National.

Thanks Rich - I previously didn't understand the rule. Now that you've said that and Leon has updated the FAQ, I've added my full name in all its Italian-American splendor.
