I have been collecting strikes for several years. I have bought and sold and I like collecting these.. I told my wife quite awhile ago that I will never leave a message on this board because I have seen people verbaly attacted on this board and the first one I witnessed attacked was Richard. I don't know any of you and this is a part time hobby of mine not a social thing. I have lost respect for many who have deliberately attacked simple messages left here on this board. Be adults here and keep this a place where new collectors and old like to visit for information and trading and buying! WHAT OTHER REASON WOULD YOUR HAVE TO VISIT THIS MESSAGE BOARD!!!!!!!!! If the Board members of this club want to see more positive messages why don't the ones who are knowlegable write a weekly or monthly message on a certain casino or strike that would be informative and attract new members and more visits to this message board. SO INSTEAD OF RESPONDING NEGATIVE TO A MESSAGE ON THIS BOARD HOW ABOUT SHARING SOME STRIKE INFORMATION ABOUT A CERTAIN CASINO OR STRIKE OR A TRADE OR FOR SALE ITEM!!!! ONCE AGAIN .... WHY ELSE WOULD ANYONE VISIT THIS MESSAGE BOARD !!!! How about responding to this message by offering a monthly message which offers information....How about it!! PROMOTE THIS MESSAGE BOARD....MAKE IT INFORMATIVE AND INTERESTING BY OFFERING INFORMATION....TRADES...AND SALES...Thanks for listening and lets see some new and informative messages.......Larry
