I don't think you were ever on a soapbox, Andy. I've always respected that MPF is you're baby and you have every right to influence it as you see fit. I have always believed there is room for an online site that includes other areas of poster collecting. There are several areas that I never really got into on MPF because there were simply no ears interested in hearing. In any event, the more professional forums we have, the better the hobby will be, I believe. Thanks for your kind words, all of you.
