I thought the full name deal was meant for those who aren't known? I know Leon is familiar with Dan and myself....but like Dan I've removed my last comment and won't post on this thread again.

And Phil - all my info other than my telephone number is on the members page (edited to say some of it is out of date...)

Hi Dave
That is not the case. Here is a brief excerpt from the revised rules which have been in place for several months. I am seriously considering changing them to what you are saying though, and that way I can give out a name to anyone that is in the debate or situation, but not to the general public who are viewing the board. Quite honestly it's too time consuming to do it the way it's being done. That being said here are the rules as they are today (again, they are posted on the site too):

"Anonymous, where this board is concerned, implies that you are not known to the moderator or anyone else. That is not permitted on Net54baseball. However, you may remain private on the board; otherwise, as long as your post is not argumentative, controversial, confrontational, accusatorial etc.�For example you can discuss attributes of cards, sets or memorabilia and stay private. You can not say someone is an imbecile, hard to deal with, gave poor service etc�and remain private on the board. In addition to that if your opinion is that you dislike someone, hate them, can�t stand or don�t like anything about them, and you want to tell the world about it on Net54baseball, then your full name will need to be in your post. The moderator may put the posters name on the board or delete their posts, at his sole discretion, when this rule is not adhered to. Heated debates will require first and last names to be known, and made public, on the board. Contact information will be given out for legal reasons or under extraordinary circumstances at the discretion of the moderator."

i didn't think darren's or dave's replies were that bad. is it now the case where if you're simply addressing or replying to someone else's post then you must have your full name out there?

I dunno, what do you think? If someone says you are an (pick any bad thing) and then someone else agrees. Would you want to know who is agreeing with them?

And if you say, well yeah, but those weren't that "bad", who is to say they aren't that bad...and make that decision in every thread? You know what I mean?

"If someone says you are an (pick any bad thing)"

Leon, I don't think you can use an "an" here.

You can't assume the bad thing will begin with a vowel.

in this case dave/darren was saying stop using the rea analogy and being so stuck on steve getting 15%...worst thing that might've been said was lowballing, which was true.

It also sounds like the folks that are upset here are the unlucky ones, without any cards to show from the sale. If you want to buy some of these cards, pay attention to the posts, and throw your money on the table. Sounds pretty simple to me.

If these are sold in 100 card lots from a stack of 3000 and he gets 20 emails about each, that's 600 deals to try and work out, it ain't gonna happen. One just has to take the top two or three folks and give them a chance. Granted there is some money being left on the table, but the owner seems to be happy with the progress Steve is making and I seriously doubt anyone complaining here cares about how big the return is for the owner of the cards. Folks are just angry they have't been able to land some for themselves.

There have been many items on the BST I would have loved to have bought over the years had I seen in time or tossed more money in my offer, that's just the way it goes.

Been on the road for a while, so doing some catching up this weekend. Looks like a bunch of nice cards here,
