You are correct about Craig's valid points. My observation after 13½ years here is that there is a core of mostly anonymous guys here and other on forums who like to attack dealers or sometimes successful collectors. This ties in with Gaspare's post above.
Gaspare, When the GDC started, many forums moderated by well known dealers. Most of the dealers left by the end of 2001, but not for the reason you suggest. They left because of the anonymous turkeys who felt they had to sabotage or discredit everything these guys said. It was not worth the dealers time and reputation to argue with them. They were gone by the time you signed up in mid-2002, so you did not get to see this as it happened.
