Not going to flame me? Should I be flamed for posting without resorting to ad hominem attacks or playing the " obscene name game"?
Or shouid I be flamed simply because I disagree with your premise?
In any event, I'll not be forgetting this great kindness you do me sorr! Yer 'umble servant, sorr!

As has been pointed out, many of us were part of that commnunity for quite some time. So, we're mostly aware of who's coming over; I recognize a lot of the names in this thread. However, it's pretty obvious we all left for some reason as well. There's quite a bit of money, community and talent already in place here; this game is and has been quite successful from the beginning.
While your group may understandably be proud of what your are bringing to AH, please accept that some AH folks may be understandably proud of what HTC and this community has built here in just two short years.

Sorry, what I see in that post is BB's "Farewll Address To The Faithful."
Not quite as stirring as MacArthur's "Old Soldier" speech at West Point but not too bad. Nonetheless, it's rightfully an O-Club thing.
It was already on the BigWeek board right? So all those who would truly be interested and were involved probably saw it already?

Speaking only for myself, I think you flatter yourself/yourselves a bit too much, actually. I'm quite sure that the infusion of more players is a good thing for AH and the game and community will benefit eventually. I say "eventually" because from what I'm seeing at present there is no attempt to blend the communities. The one that is already here is comfortable; the one coming in seems to want to suddenly transplant itself with the same status it had a different game. Bound to be friction, as we've seen. I'm sure it'll work out.
Oh, yeah... generally speaking, anytime I see someone get a BBS "opponent" to resort to "ad hominem" arguments, I figure that's an instant loss for the guy using the "ad hominem" approach. Same for the "obscene name game" technique; vulgarity is always the first response of the unimaginative, don't you agree?
In any event, this thread is long enough, so I'm out. Bottom line... it's an O-Club topic.
Have a nice thread! Enjoy AH!
