[QUOTE="clembo, post: 397980, member: 8033"]Extremely interesting question Ben and many of us are in our own way. BQ you are a force for educating. This is why I quote you. At the coin shop I am a "force" to many newbies. I'm also an idiot when they come in and ask what is the newest mint issue etc. Why? - because I don't care but I stumble around it. I find being honest works real well. "I'll check with the boss because I'm into older stuff". This is a drawback I'm working on. On the other hand in "regular" life I can be a force. I can teach people a lot, refer them to places like CT (no lie) and enhance the learning experience. Back to work. My boss has probably forgotten more than I know. My strong points there? Quick research as he is very inept on computers. Small size currency. He just hands it to me on most occasions and asks my opinion. Two Cent Pieces. He knows I love them. He bought an 1864 today and asked me if it was a small motto. It wasn't but rotated die so I bought it. Bottom line here is we are all a force in some capacity. Be it what we are strong at OR weak at. Someone who is weak at a subject just may ask THE question that no one else ever thought about. Knowing a certain subject even farily well can help someone that does not have a clue. We can't all be Breen etc. We can all contribute. We are all forces in some way. Another ramble brought to you by...... clembo[/QUOTE]
