What do you bring to the board?

[Rob D.]

I'm punctual, willing to work weekends and can sub when needed on the Net54 softball team.

Oh, and I'm a people person.

Rob- something tells me that if we were choosing sides for the Net54 softball team, you would be the first one picked.

Devilish good looks and charm.

Both are liberal pussies with a Merkle thing going. Ever seen KO and DMcD in the same room together? Didn't think so. Coincidence? I think not.

AHA! I knew Olbermann posted to this chatroom.

I can occasionally be counted on for non-T206 input, somewhat akin to Rhett, but a minor-league version of him. And I pretty much limit myself to being helpful and informative, and let the masses duke it out amongst themselves. And I offer a lower condition collector perspective...and feel I let the mediocre have their voice (because they are a rather meek bunch prone to be eaten by the sharks). And sometimes my version of humor.

Actually, he does. Just not very often.

I contribute almost nothing to this board but at least I don't make it worse with this kind of trash. The good information on this site is often negated by having to read this sort of thing. Very unpleasant.

Celoknob,

David was referring to himself and being self-deprecating.

Celo, he was referring to himself in a joking manner.

HA! That's so close that David should use that as his avatar.

I feel because I am a dealer and a collector that keeping an eye on things in the hobby is always a positive so I can contribute more when others have questions. The site is a great resource and I like being apart of it when have the time.

I won't say what I bring, but I will say what separates this Board from others is cleanliness and maturity. I like to think that I contribute every so often, but for the most, I enjoy the education I get from many of the good posters. Leon does a great job in weeding away the nonsense that other boards seem to thrive on (I get like an ice cream headache when I visit the CU Board with flashing avatars, huge banners and some of the idiots o'er there). The idiot quotient here is limited, which is good, and most didn't make the transition for some reason to the new board. Where's that pro golfer guy anyways? You know the one I speak of?

Maybe. If we play with a DH.

[JasonL]

but I just wish everyone would stop making jokes about the size of my needle.


In all honesty, though, I wish I contributed more to this Board, and I do when I can, but the vast experience and financial resources of many collectors here eclipse me significantly. So, I think most people just enjoy the fact that I am not a "we!"

Edited to add: My contributions are often borderline disturbing, such as this question I asked myself earlier this morning, and I will pose it here as sidebar fodder: Do you think that the reason I continually receive far too many raisins in my purchased bags of trail mix is a reflection of the ongoing supply glut in the wine industry?
