<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 8119619, member: 19463&quot;]Thanks to all.&nbsp; In this case it seems a lot of hoopla over being #2.&nbsp; If I am Jim Brown, I guess that makes [USER=51347]@Alegandron[/USER] Tom Brady???</p><p><br /></p><p>In 1997, I had an inexplicable desire to learn to code HTML and &#039;Geo-Cities&#039; was giving free web space so my website began (all coded in simple HTML without packaged software or Javatricks).&nbsp; This was about the same time that our own [USER=44316]@Valentinian[/USER] started his site which he continues to maintain.&nbsp; Mine is dead. We had one factor in common that I consider significant.&nbsp; Our sites were free to users.&nbsp; At that time there were websites that charged membership fees before they would tell you what they knew.&nbsp; I strongly support free information exchange.&nbsp; I despise those who know less than I do and charge others for their ignorance.&nbsp; Coin Talk has been only one part of my string of venues that supported my desire to &#039;spread the word&#039; about this hobby.&nbsp; I have no idea where will be next.&nbsp; I wish I had better YouTube skills. I do enjoy Zoom.&nbsp; Nothing makes me happier than to hear from people whose interests in these coins began with my old site.&nbsp; Several times I have regretted the move that resulted in the invasion of Coin Talk by those of us ejected from another similar venue.&nbsp; We were a poor fit then and now.&nbsp; Note how many of the names on CT&#039;s lists of most likes are regulars here on the Ancient section.&nbsp; We were not what CoinTalk wanted but we thank them for tolerating most us to some degree over the years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
