[QUOTE="edd_jedi, post: 496769, member: 2"] About half way through now, enjoying it so far. Sorry to hear Si is stepping back, I didn't realise he had become a full-time Drew Pritchard, I must admit I am slightly jealous! I would love to do that one day. Interesting conversation around negativity in the hobby at the moment. A few months ago not only did I leave most Facebook groups, I also unfollowed nearly all the groups I didn't leave so my news feed is now 90% free of Star Wars. It has been quite liberating, I too was getting sick of all the repetition and drama, especially as by my own admission I am a sucker for getting dragged in to arguments. I'm sure it has resulted in missing some deals, but thankfully people are tagging me in things they think I might be interested in, so thanks guys. It is a shame that negativity due to scammers etc is spoiling the hobby for some people, but as I said in another post recently if nobody calls these people out they will simply get away with it, and I can't stand by and watch that happen to a hobby I've been involved in for nearly 25 years. If it gets me labelled as a keyboard warrior then so be it, I'd rather that than turn a blind eye. One thing I think is really important is to have other interests. I have three main hobbies, and alternating between them gives me a break and stops me from burning out on one. I often see people on Facebook who from their profiles seem to be so obsessed with Star Wars that no wonder they find it overwhelming and take it so seriously. [/QUOTE]
