I have never felt terribly comfortable starting up conversations with strangers at card shows, and part of that is because I don't want to come within arms' length of them...perhaps all of you are some of these same people, and isn't that a wonderful advertisement for the limitations and evils of prejudice? (since I like talking to you all on here...) I just imagine that you are all clean shave, fit and trim and smell like vanilla, and everything is just fine!

Jason,

Is that the reason you won't talk to me at shows ?

The knowledge, rarities and high-end collections and other topical aspects are all cool and junk. But, my hat's off to the members that can laugh at themselves, have character, compassion and what many of us need more of, humility. You know who they are... See below, for an example of what the heck it is, I'm trying to say. Thankyou Members such as this.

Damn it Steve! I've got a reputation to protect and you go screwing with it by digging up old crap like this!


Moderators, I demand that you lock this thread!

Maybe it sounds corny, but I really appreciate the simple kindnesses: an encouraging compliment after one of my infrequent posts to a pick-up thread, a flawless B/S/T transaction, a quick and courteous reply to a newbie-ish question I've emailed to a much more knowledgeable board member. I've never met any of you guys in person, but I still feel like part of the gang. Thanks.
