"Getting out"...can you offer any more info on that? So drastic. So dramatic.

And in one shot. So drastic. So dramatic.

Begs many questions. But to each his own, and best of luck. Wish I had the dough and the space. You'd be out!

This is a rather ridiculous statement. I'm also sorry a stalwart is leaving the hobby. Was curious as to why and Al has basically explained it, which is refreshing. Very sad if Al lost a friend. But really, at the end if the day, this is ultimately a "Pinballs for Sale" situation. The psychodrama and subtext of this thread is really unnecessary. This is a public forum. No one is immune to comments when starting a thread. I'm certain Al will do very well with his sale, regardless of the circumstances. At the end of the day, does anyone really care, besides Al?

Best of luck Al in your new direction.

If Al is leaving the hobby because of someone else's attitude....well then it's probably time he left then. No disrespect intended. But why not let Al speak for himself if that's the case? You're stirring the pot as well. Specifically calling out Sad Sack...and for what? For commenting on the fact that Al commented that listing the price of his games will draw criticism? Again, why should Al care what other people think on a public forum where his intent is to SELL his games?

Much ado about NOTHING.

If you want to memorialize Al in a "goodbye hobby" thread that's one thing....but this is a for sale thread.
