<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ghopper1924, post: 3806142, member: 5170&quot;]I remember contretemps with various boardies, but I can&#039;t point to an individual thread because I can&#039;t remember what those threads were called.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I think he was frustrated with newbies who believed that their antiques were solid gold, and were looking for boardies&nbsp; to back up their opinion. When that wasn&#039;t forthcoming, the newbies just dug in harder and became hostile. That&#039;s happened several times in the furniture forum and I&#039;m sure in other forums as well.

As we&#039;ve noted, his knowledge of 18th century U.S. furniture was extraordinary; rarely did I fail to learn something from one of his in-depth posts. He did have a distinctive sense of humor, and if I may say so, it seemed to rub some folks the wrong way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
