    Not sure what you're asking me to do? Or what you're telling me?

    Just the e-mail contact through eBay. That's all I meant.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    You both wrote some very eloquent messages about him. My problem with writing a message is, first I had him on ignore for a long time, and now my brain and eyes skip over most of his messages and "ignore" him that way. So it would be difficult to write a specific message. I suppose I could write a general one, just with perceptions of how the AB has changed.

    Any input is appreciated.
    It's hard to ignore the diminished quality of advice presently available on the board.

    I didn't know that eBay farms out its boards to Lithium. That explains a lot actually. It's kind of like the person with the funny accent that answers the phone when you call up a big company like AT&T or Comcast when you need help. They're just reading from a script and they're evaluated by how many items they process per day (in this case I suppose it would be how many reports they process). Their incentive is not to get to the heart of the problem, their incentive is to close out the issue so it adds another point to their quota. They're never going to care about the community like the hobbyists and professionals like us do.

    Peter, Lithium has had the eBay boards since last July. Before that it was LiveWorld, who were better in some ways and worse in some ways. ... I know what you mean about the perspective...

    Davey, thank you so much for the invitation. I really appreciate it.

    I'll try to work on an avatar. I've never had one anywhere, so we'll have to wait and see how that goes.

    I'm pushing 70 now and I'm trying to get rid of things rather than accumulate more, but I've always loved "the good old stuff" and enjoyed being around others who feel the same. When health and time allowed, I worked a few hours a week for a friend in her antiques shop and also worked as a cashier once a month at an auction house. Because of health and mobility issues, for the past few years I've had someone else sell for me on eBay, which has worked out well for both of us.

    I've never collected any one thing, so I don't have depth of knowledge in any area, but I do know a bit about this, that, and the other thing. I will always help when I can, but compared to others here my attempts are pretty feeble. I do love research, though, and enjoy puzzles like the one *yourturntoloveit* presented on another thread (calling card).

    Anyhow, this is a nice place and I was flattered to be invited to the party!

    Good morning, Davey! (Or should I say good afternoon? :) ) Thank you sooooooooo much for the invite. I've been reading and posting less and less on the AB out of sheer frustration with our little "friend." :arghh:

    Nice to see so many familiar names - some I've missing for a while now ( Hi Terry!!)

    Has anyone invited Brad? (I wasn't able to find a full list of members, so forgive me if it's here somewhere.)

    Bakersgma,

    I noticed that Brad checked into this board a while back... so he is a member.

    Hi Fig!! Yup, I just found his message on another thread. I'm still catching up.

    The structure is a little confusing, but I'll get used to it. ;)

    I've been trying to remember to open a thread in a new tab when I want to read it. That seems to work for me. (But I didn't do it with this one.)

    Heck, I have trouble even remembering my 40s. Although I do remember the 1940s... Hmmmm... A sign of old age for sure! :)

    Davey,

    Are you still sending invites to the regular posters over on the Antiques Board.?
    Doing a quick search of current members here...I'm not seeing silverthwait, 707susang, bercrystal, birgittaw, pillarboxred, or afantiques..?
