Hate to say it but some of the biggest posters a decade ago where not youngsters back then.  It's not like we have to retire from being able to type but eventually time catches up to us all.  Hope all those old timers are enjoying a round of golf in Florida.

I wouldn't be surprised if over-moderation may have something to do with people leaving this place behind.

I rarely post now because I keep getting warnings from Mod1 over very innocuous postings.  I suspect one of my "followers" is there to turn in my posts.

Why do I worry about it?  I'm trying to keep off the vacations list, so that I can continue to post sales threads.

I saw the list of your followers - I can’t imagine it’s anyone on that list

over moderation is a reason maybe some of us bite our fingers more than before however the biggest driver of why many post less is that the fools have taken over

Thanks for taking a look.  I only know a little over half of them.

Every once in awhile, I will sell something to someone new, and I'll get comments about "Ahh..., the board comedian", and "always love your posts."  Thanks, but I guess I need to wait until I get some of my sales threads over before I start responding honestly again.

I’ve given up on the sales threads here. Good luck!

Given up buying or selling or both?

Selling. I feel if it isn’t golden age or dirt cheap  - it’s not selling. For the books that I sell (copper to modern) eBay is my marketplace
