[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 994381, member: 112"]Well, when I answered the comment about keeping things secret I was talking about individuals not keeping things secret - not NCS. Which is what I thought the comment I answered was about. Yeah NCS keeps their methods secret, since that is the business they are in I don't blame them. I'd keep it secret too if it was my business. It would be stupid not to. We've had this discussion before Thad. Conservation is nothing more than a synonym for cleaning - both words mean exactly the same thing. The two words of differentiation are cleaning and harsh/improper cleaning. I'm sorry, but there is just no getting around that. Would you not say that dipping is cleaning ? Everybody I know would, with the exception of you maybe. Saying that conservation is not cleaning is like saying that cabinet friction or roll friction is not wear. Wear is wear, regardless of how it occurred. A form of wear may be acceptable in determing if a coin is MS or not, but that doesn't mean it isn't wear. It's kind of like saying that a woman isn't pregnant because she's only been pregnant for 2 days. There's no such thing as a little bit pregnant, you either are or you are not. Conservation is cleaning - any way you want to look at it. But it is not harsh/improper cleaning.[/QUOTE]
