<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 890590, member: 13650&quot;]It was a good writeup.&nbsp; I&#039;ll be honest with you though that I still don&#039;t think facebook is meant for that roll.&nbsp; &nbsp; My wife does facebook but I never have and probably never will.&nbsp; It doesn&#039;t grab me.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;d be happier not having everyone know what&#039;s going on in our daily lives.&nbsp;&nbsp; To me, we have e-mail and cell phones for sharing information that is worth while.&nbsp; These social networking sites seem narcisistic to me.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; But anyway, I guess I just don&#039;t see an additional benefit it would provide beyond all the forums that are already available for exchanging information.&nbsp;&nbsp; Where the vast majority are already willing to participate due to the fact of remaining anonymous.&nbsp;&nbsp; And ALL, 100%, are there because they are interested. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Say your collection was worth $20k.&nbsp; You kept 15k worth at the bank and 5k at home for you to look at.&nbsp; Just as an example that might represent somebody on this forum.&nbsp; Who knows?</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; You show this and that on facebook to a list of 20, 50, 100, 200 or more friends, of which, the vast majority knows exactly where you live.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Then you have a break in and coins and other valuables are stolen.&nbsp;&nbsp; Now your entire friends list (most of which have no interest in coins anyway) become suspects.&nbsp; People that never needed to know, now only serve to complicate tracking down who did it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;That&#039;s the only concern and unfortunately the reality of the world we live in.&nbsp; &nbsp; Now, you may say &quot;my collection isn&#039;t that valuable.&quot;&nbsp; &quot;It wouldn&#039;t be worth stealing.&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp; Well, where do you draw the line?&nbsp;&nbsp; If somebody&#039;s collection is only worth $100, it&#039;s worth stealing to somebody and is more than anybody wants to lose.&nbsp;&nbsp; I feel as most probably do, that it&#039;s better to be safe than sorry.&nbsp; &nbsp; I&#039;m to a point where if just the storage supplies were stolen it would be a tragedy.&nbsp;&nbsp; Although I&#039;m quite satisfied with the security measures in place.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Just my .02 cents.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
