I'm pretty sure you are correct, but when Bruce "left" the average IQ on both the "active" and "suspended" lists went way up, so we may have some wiggle room here.

This was my smile of the week.

Tbob,

I can't take credit for it. Randy Galloway of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram and ESPN Radio in Dallas, uses it to describe what happened when Billy Sims left Texas high school and went college at Oklahoma. (IQs in both states went up...)

Mine was but an adaptation.

Jim- Whilst we have heard the quote before, we think the reference to "he who shall not be named (but happily banned)" was hilarious.

I am the one giving historical information and providing facts for my opinions You are the one making slanderous remarks. So if IQ # is the status quo for this board, then maybe you should refrain from posting remarks.

Derek- insults aside, your insight into what is really going on in this country, based on your very misdirected posts, is truly alarming. Why don't you try reading a few books- I know that is a terribly elitist concept- before you start preaching to educated board members about socialism. Thank you.

Well, as I suspected we are going to get nowhere. So good luck selling your reprints.

[Matthew H]

Bump. As the OP said, "great gift idea"

[jb217676]

I don't know if anyone else is in agreement with me, but I think the OP is simply a troll. I believe his only purpose is to stir the pot and get everyone here fired up. Who else but a troll would start his membership here by alienating everyone from the beginning. This site is home to many hobby heavyweights and to insult these people like he does strikes me as confusing, unless he's a troll!

[calvindog]

Awesome thread. Derek, I could care less one way or another about your reprints but you've spent an awful amount of time in order to make $5. Are things that slow?

whats on your bookshelf barry?

I now appreciate how Derek preaches to do his research but then he comes out with a blanket statement like "95% of collectors..."...Derek...where did you get this figure? Did you do any market research? Conduct any polls?

Sheesh...I now feel he is just a troll who stumbled into a part of the internet he was not prepared for.

Derek: When Sarah Palin is President in a couple of years the American Khmer Rouge will round up guys like me, Jim and Barry and shoot us. No worries.

So I drove to Houston and back yesterday, to see family. It was 9 hours on the road and we had a good time.
I didn't even see this thread until just now. For the record the original poster registered with the name "Derek Masters" so I will assume that is who he is. I am a bit on the fence about what to do with the whole scenario. I don't think banning is usually a good solution.

Derek- we don't talk about politics, religion or anyone's family members on this board. The last one will get anyone banned quicker than anything else. I am against these fakes because, as most have alluded to, eventually they will end up with someone buying the card for their spouse and getting burned, or something like that. Now, if they clearly say "reprint" on them, then I don't have as much of a problem. Also, we have a ton of Jewish members on the board (as well as all other religions and denominations too) so any trivializing of the Holocaust is not going to be well received. Lets keep it about cards and there won't need to be moderating intervention. best regards

David- when Sarah Palin becomes president I will be moving to the Belgian Congo, so they won't be able to find me.

Barry, I don't think the Belgian's are in the Congo anymore, but if invited, I'll visit you ........

Barry that is very Alec Baldwinesque of you.
