I see no reason to start a email pissing match. I have better things to do. And over a post (Michael B's) that I thought was a question to just get a line of dialog going, and maybe get some insight.
As far as Rick goes, I'm sure he's capable of taking care of himself. To be honest, I'm not sure what you are talking about. I don't read all the MOPO posts, so I must have missed something. For what it's worth, from what I know of Rick(professionally), he's a good guy. Just like most of the people on this site.

On the other hand how about addressing those so openly critical of Rick Ryan. He was doing a great service to collectors and unfortunately it turned sour and not through any fault of his. Why don't you tell every negative critic to not say anything at all? I don't see you chiming in on every stupid or negative comment made on mopo and there are a lot of them. In any case, since you didn't have anything nice to say about my comment why didn't you practice what you preach? In a message dated 2/10/2010 12:11:09 P.M.
