After reading Rubin's post on early Ike designs (in which he stroked my ego quite thoroughly) I had no choice but to sign up and begin posting myself.
My name is Rob Ezerman. I founded the IKE GROUP and am lead author and chief bottle washer. A member has annointed me "Grand Pooblah", not sure that's a compliment, but for sure if there was an award for lengthiest posts on coin forums I would take that award year in and year out.
Our web site, for those very few of you who don't know of it

is
www.ikegroup.org , its Ikes and only Ikes, dozens of articles clickable from the home page and at least a hundred worthy essays on our forum including "Articles of the Month", our most concentrated resource for Ike nuts.
Since I'm close to full time on Ike research and writing (after similar dedication to Ms Anthony) I am probably the biggest fish in the smallest pond in coin land: as my wife complains, "So what, where's the money???" Oh well, having fun and staying out of trouble.
Always happy to talk Ikes, drop an email
