For many, this our 10 year anniversary here. Of course some more. I just realized this last weekend.
I’d never dream of counting the number of hours spent here. On the positive side? It’s kept me out of bars.
I can assure you’ll learn something every day. And, I’m sure we’ve all made some really nice friendships along the way.
We’ve seen many people come and go. There’s been moments of joy as well as sorrow. We’ve witnessed some genuine train wrecks while, also, having the privilege of viewing people at their best. And most importantly, regardless of past experiences piquing incredulity, we’ve found that board members are very compassionate and generous with their time and resources.
I remember watching an episode of “All in the Family” where Archie learned an important lesson from a mentally challenged store worker: “Every man is my superior in that I may learn from him.”
I guess I’m alluding to the fact that everyone is equal here. The size of collections, the number of posts, the number of years here neither provides access nor privilege. We all have to earn respect.
So, on my 10th anniversary, I’d like to just say thanx.

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
Congrats & thanks for all your positive input!

<< <i>Hi Kirk, I think they had a forum in 2000 but not in this format. My guess would be
very early 2001.

Hiya Steve
You and I have been here together thru everything - it's been a pleasure.
edit: Again, thanx to everyone!
Needless to say I have had many laughs and positive chats with so many different people here over the years, I still remember some of the lunatics, scammers and your basic complete A-holes as well however their stay has always been limited due to the community here that keeps this place solid.
I have done thousands of dollars worth of bussiness here and every single transaction has been smooth and effortless, one time a non poster/non member contacted me from Arizona ( Im near Boston ) and wanted to buy over a thousand dollars worth of cards I had up on the BST and told me he would send me the cash up front just because he knew I was a long time poster and on a name to name basis with alot of the guys here so he knew he could trust me, it was then I realized how great a place this was.
I miss Lawnmowerman, BigDaddyBowman,TNTonPMS, Rube to name a few.
This is my 20,000th Post coupled with my 10th anniversary here at CU.
It will always be a privilege to talk with everyone here and I hope to meet you all at a National down the road!
I've sure learned a lot!
Thanx to everyone.
You are the board wisdom! Thank you for your contributions. ....and 79 rack packs.
Thanks,
David (LD_Ferg)
