<p>[QUOTE="Prez2, post: 3336528, member: 93969"]Paddyman is obviously quite educated in this field and I am not of his caliber nor would I challenge his wisdom overall. However, some areas are open to opinion and some are merely speculative. That's the area I thought I was coming from when I was trying to point out how long 'oddities/errors/varieties/etc,etc' sometimes take to be recognized and how many if not most are quick to shout 'you have nothing' at the drop of a hat as their default answer. I used the coin referenced as an example or proof of that. It was a very general, friendly comment not intended to get as carried away as it did and I meant no harm. Just was pointing out something that I found interesting which I thought was part and parcel to the purpose of the forum. Far as 'doubled die' versus 'double die'? What's the big deal about highlighting that? I see none. We know what was meant. The op knows what they meant and so on. Seems like it turns into an 'I'm smarter than you' thing. Also seems like the 'purists' (for lack of a better word) are afraid of somebody else invading 'their' hobby. I don't know. Geez this gets old. So, I'll close with saying yes, you and Paddy are more experienced than I. Honest to God it is getting ridiculous. You have a great night.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
