What I get tired of hearing, among other things.. but this is a big one..
"What have you brought to the hobby?"
You know something.. If someone is playing EF.. They're bringing something to the hobby... They're buying EF products.. Whether it be from Miggle, Buzzball, FF.com, Beal, Decal Master, Beenutt, Guttman, or any of the other painters or suppliers.. The guys who have been working their tails off to start the MFCA! I apologize.. I didn't mean to leave anyone out.. but I know there are several I didn't mention.
And even if their budget is small... and they don't buy much..
They're PLAYING!... And as small as this hobby is, we need every single EF player out there.. And that's a contribution in the real scheme of things..
I sunk way too much money into producing bases.. And I knew when I did it, It was a bad investment... Knowing the return would be slow.. and breaking even some day was the ultimate goal.. But guess what.. There's no pedestal or higher plane that Manufacturers or people who have developed systems belong on.. And if those that HAVE done it.. have a chip on their shoulder because of it.. They need to lose it. We don't deserve ANY MORE respect than anybody else in this hobby..
