Nice to hear from you, Ken. You see, even lurkers are opinionated!

I read MOPO most of the time but I never put my two cents in...why? I am not that comfortable with having my words and thoughts posted for all to see. I am "shy" on facebook and rarely send conversational email. Is there anything wrong with "lurking"? I don't judge or complain about members opinions. As far as using MOPO for advertising...I have no problem with it. I think that the MOPO input in general ranges from informative to interesting to a waste of time and it adds greatly to the hobby of collecting movie posters. But as long as I am here, this is my pet peave with some collectors and some of the society in general. What's with the attitude of "these kids today"?. Back in my day...the movies were better, the music was better, the toys were more fun to play with, you could get on the subway for a nickel (15 cents in my day), everything was made better and lasted longer and we were all always happy. Get over it...things change, but most remain the same. There were always great movies, art and music, but most of it was always bad. I am not sure if those cool Buck Rogers rings that came in the mail in the 30s were better than Burger King toys were to my kids. Are metal toys better than plastic ones? I don't think so. To the wide eyes of an eight year old, most "toys" are pretty cool. We all know technology is changing everything. Do you really think that Howdy Doody was more important to a generation than Mario Brothers or World of Warcft? What kind of memories will we have about the early days of the internet (we are still in the middle of the early days). Do you remember that wonderful sound of dial up and $3.00 an hour to surf the net at a speed that would make us all scream for a 14 year old to fix it? Things changed when the railroad came through. They are still changing. People always suffer when there is change, look at the Bates Motel Let's not forget the wars and poverty that never end. It would be nice if they are only history to the next generation. OK, I went on and on...this is why I never post. I really want to delete this instead of sending it...Oh, what the heck!
