What was the culture of this forum a decade ago?

me too! I tried to follow in Barrys' footsteps after he gave up...but soon realized it was a battle that could not be won!!!!!!!

Proper grammar can ruin a perfectly good sentence.

I think it should be "perfectly well sentence."

I did Chris, and it was a thankless task. My contention is if you want people to read your posts, please write clearly. There are so many posts I read that I have no idea what I am reading. Simple sentences go a long way.

Do you mean that you read so many posts that you get confused, or do you mean that you read many confusing posts?

The only place he posts these days is Facebook.

Yes probably old posts or the FC board. Sorry to hear about his wife which has now been the focus of his time...which is as it should be.

That's confusing.

The defusion

That was very thought provoking, Frank.

Yes, there was some confusion earlier in the thread that I was referenced as being missed, but it was intended for my brother Jay who no longer resides here. It is kind of sad that I am not missed but I guess if you don't go away you can't be missed. :-)

As far as 10 year ago I was thought to be one of the younger participants on the board but those days are past, it was great when the 16 year Zach came aboard and impressed us all at an early age and still going strong.

The site has been great and have made some wonderful friends through the site and probably had a little to do with now owning Sterling, It is great to be able to have a job in a hobby you love. I have gotten alot of support from the people on Net54, Thanks.

How else would have all us collectors of old cardboard been able to hob knob together and actually know what we are talking about.

Hopefully this question gets asked again in 10 years,
