    1. Playing, to me at least, is RELAXING.
    2. The people. I had a baseball card business for 19 years and then collected and sold Hot Wheels for another 11 years. Let me preface what I am about to say by stating that you are going to have no-good idiot knucklehead people in almost EVERYTHING you get involved in. Having said that, let me now say that in the baseball card world the good guys outnumbered the numbskulls somewhere around 70%-30%. In the Hot Wheels hobby...on it's BEST day...I would say those that did things right with an air of courtesy and professionalism was MAYBE 50%-50% (people are the reason I got of the hobby, by the way)

    In the world of pinball out of all the people I have met, how many would I group in the "suspect integrity" category? Two at most. Granted, one of those was a person that I will give the benefit of the doubt because they may not have KNOWN what they were doing was wrong. The other one was just a person that has been obnoxious EVERY TIME we have crossed paths on the internet. Aside from those two? ALL YOU PEOPLE ARE ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!

    And THAT'S what I like the best about pinball...
