I have to say I'm an active member of a few war gaming/miniatures forums and I have to say  (and I mean it in a good way) that theses forums seem to contain the highest percentage of people who are a little 'out there' in a good way of course  :D

So...the question is; Does 10mm attract the crazies? or you have to be a little mad to collect & paint 10mm?

At any rate I'm having a blast going through the older posts. Keep up the crazy.

We are the normal ones. Some people do 28mm mass combat games.
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

Are you saying myself and Sunjester are not normal.

I dont think there is anything odd about having 2500 28mm figures on the table

Well, it's a very friendly (and supportive) place and you can't say that about everywhere on the internet and I don't paint eyes on 10mm and the Pendraken people are really nice people to deal with, so I am OK if any of that is crazy.

You've got to be a little weird to wargame in the first place, but at least 10mm, 6mm and 2mm gamers get their stuff painted and in action quicker and in a space that doesn't destroy your back. 2500 28mm figs - I ask you!!! ???

I like to sniff the paint.  :)
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

10mm seems like plain common sense.  Rather than attracting 'crazies' it attracts those who appreciate value for money, good service, good product and have a wide interest in the various facets of the hobby.  Accountants, bankers, telephone sanitizers, etc.  :-X
