Martin, please put your difficulties aside and just stick right here! You are an asset this groups can not afford to lose.
I have learned a lot from the help that you have provided people with various questions here. Including things I did not know I wanted or needed to know. This is your "One Stop Coin Talk" location on the Web! Ok, so we stray from the stright and narrow world of Coins once in a while, but that just adds spice to the mix unless it is just bickering and name calling. Or things that have no bearing on Coin Collecting such as Postcard Collecting or Exchanges, Get Rich Quick Scams, and Refinance everything you own for 0% Interest, even with bad credit. Now Politics, that is a horse of another color even if some people would disagree with me (Right Ted B), it can have a direct affect on our hobby of Coin Collecting as it has a direct affect on the Monitariey policy which will affect how much disposable income you have to put into your hobby. Now I personally agree that there are way too many Coin Related Groups, but then I think that it is good there are so many, as then the people who want to focis on a very narrow segement of the hobby can do so and talk with like minded people and not bore the heck out of people with a wider interest or perspective. I know I sure get no enjoyment out of reading message after message about BIE Lincoln Cents, but I know a few people that that is the center of their Collecting world. More power to them, and please take that to a group all it's own. Just my three cents worth. Had to change as my Two Cents was starting to show some wear and tear.
