[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 481572, member: 112"]Thanks for the kind words guys, but you should realize that there are probably as many who skip over my comments as there are those who read them. Most of you probably don't realize it, I even wonder at times if anyone does, but whenever I see comments like that it kind of makes me uncomfortable. I mean, I'm nobody, I'm no expert on anything except construction. I make more than my share of mistakes. All I try to do is offer honest opinions (ones I believe in), and share what knowledge I have. I always speak the truth, or at least what I believe to be the truth. And I try to help anyone and everyone who ask for it. And I also learn, every single day. And I learn from all of you - every single one. Yes I will admit that when some people post I pay particular attention. But I read every post. Some I may skim through quickly, others I may spend some time on and even read them 2 or 3 times. And sometimes I even go back and read old posts. It's quite fun to me and it teaches me how people change. Over the years that I have been here I have watched some go from beginners to advanced collectors. Watched others go from somebody never heard of to being respected and recognized names in the hobby. The way people change over time is amazing. I can tell you this, there are many mentors on Coin Talk. Some of them don't even realize that they are. The key to being a mentor is sharing knowledge. And it is not uncommon for the teacher to learn from the student.[/QUOTE]
