People should give Craig credit where due. I agree with Gaspare's assessmant of the site but let us not overlook Craig's co founding and operation of this site. Not to demean anyone elses administrative method, Craig ran a more "fluid" site. He became personally involved in many member disputes and kept things smooth. He also adjusted the forum rules as necessary.

That being said, I would add to Gaspare's summary that the general awarenes of common fakes reduces the need of many people to ask questions. Many questionable daggers on auction sites that would have been posted here with questions are not even looked at , or bid up, today. This shared knowledge is due to this web site and it reduces many questions.

Just my opinion.
