    ROBERT.......C'mon, buddy, you certainly must know by reading the threads I've been involved in that this simply can't be the straw that breaks your back?? That wasn't even anything to get ruffled feathers over, my man.

    Andrew is golden in this biz.....he didn't mean anything by any of his words. Obviously he is frustrated, but it's rediculous to think it's all from you. I have had some offline conversations with Lang-man, and he's just a great guy all around. You HAVE to know he is frustrated over dealings he's had with many people in this business, and how they treat his sincere efforts. People just aren't parting with the money these days, and businesses have overhead to make. It's tough to say the least. Don't blow this out of proportion.

    Times are tough......people are stressed. Add to that an injury you've had to endure through, and it kinda makes life suck. Huge. I understand that. Don't feel down about a simple misunderstanding....it happens. We're all adults, and know these things happen. But at the end of the day, we can shake hands and move on.

    But take a break, leave for a few days, let your head clear...it's all good. I've had to do it before, and trust me, you'll feel better. Come back when you're ready to, but know that everyone wants you back.


    Now, if I could only say that about myself......we may have something here.
    Crazy how things work out. Steve read the thread that is "sort of" about Adam Dunn and recalled that I had Adam Dunn's 1st Home Run ball as a Washington National which is MLB holo'd and inscribed.

    I wasn't going to sell it and after Steve offered me an obscene amount of money for the ball we will see where this goes so this will be a chapter for another day. As most of you know, Steve is the KING of HR baseballs with a museum quality collection so this Adam Dunn baseball may make into the Suicide Squeeze Museum alongside the greatest HR hitters the game has ever seen!

    This is also the great part about this Forum!

    Steve, you my friend are an awesome guy, and no matter what happens, thanks for putting a smile on my face today!

    As for SkyKing, take the advice of everyone who has weighed in with the positives of the Forum.

    Bob,

    The return on investment you get from this forum will always outweigh the occasional grief and pain in my opinion.

    Well said! Bob, as you can see by many of the supportive comments, you will be sorely missed. And we all know that if you left, you would deeply miss this forum tremendously.

    I remember when I first came to this forum and showed everyone my two BLONDE Arod game used bats. I got pounced on from every direction for those bats being BP bats. I was frustrated and felt the same way, "I don't need this crap, I'm gone."

    Well, a few years later, I'm still here, and I'm glad I made the decision to stay.

    Hang in there and rethink your decision.

    Regards, Tony

    Bob, with McGwire coming back to the Cardinals, the Forum and Big Mac would miss you. No reason to leave.

    There are many frustrations. I for one, would vote to have that other thread deleted.

    Unfortunately there is no edit button and words do hurt.

    I say don't be hasty. Like you said, it is a mis-understanding. Andrew is a classy dude, I am sure you all will clear the air and straighten things out.

    Nice looking collecting BTW.......

    Bob,

    Sorry to hear of your decision to leave. Hope you change your mind. The forum just like the world in general is full of both positive and negative experiences and dealings. Some times we just have to take the bad with the good and don't let it get you down.

    Keep in touch and hope to see you back.

    Regards
