<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2954703, member: 112&quot;]I thought I&#039;d made that quite plain in other threads Kurt. I believe interest in and participation in the hobby is and has been growing for some time because the evidence says that it is.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Really ? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Kurt, apparently you don&#039;t know or understand anything at all about me. I&#039;ve helped run and build this forum for over 15 years - never got paid anything, not one cent. To the contrary, I even helped pay the bills for quite a few years until I became disabled and was financially unable to do so. And, many years ago I initiated and ran the successful campaign to get our lawmakers to change US coin designs. And over the years I&#039;ve written many articles about coins and numismatics, helped others write many articles, even spent 4 years helping to write a book that won the 2016 NLG award for Best Book on World Coins - and did it all for free. And over the years I&#039;ve helped hundreds of people by teaching them about coins and helping them to assemble their collections, and in fact continue to do so today. I never took a dime for any of it.</p><p><br /></p><p>In other words Kurt, I do what I do in numismatics for one reason and only one reason - to help others. So you&#039;ll have to forgive me, but I take that comment as an insult, not only to my integrity but to my very character.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
