<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dafydd, post: 8168406, member: 86815&quot;]From my perspective this is a great community with no apparent elitism.</p><p>Certainly there are some very knowledgeable members here who freely give time to share their knowledge and interests and then others, like me, who observe from the wings and benefit from this.</p><p>Academics publish papers and this is important to them in respect of their standing and employment opportunities in their community and my opinion is that someone on a more focused, &quot;academic&quot; website is making a comparison that is not relevant here. We are all academics in our own way as every day is a school day but I like the &quot;like&quot; button because it proves my Internet is working as sometimes I get a &quot;like&quot; too in return.</p><p>The other thing I have noticed regarded &quot;likes&quot; and &quot;comments&quot; is that newcomers are made welcome and the value of a coin does not appear to influence comments favourably or unfavourably, if people can help, they do. It&#039;s all about the coins and the history and thankfully CT is not an investment forum.</p><p>I was taught that you cannot give offence only take it and others have expressed more eloquently the fact that everyone has a choice and this is a community that you choose to be part of. If you don&#039;t like something you simply ignore it or find another community.</p><p>My definition of a collector of ancient coins is very simple, if you have more than one ancient coin and are curious about them, you are a collector. Plurality of opinion is no bad thing either.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
