<p>[QUOTE="Drusus, post: 394970, member: 6370"]You said they should be rewarded...it was a general statement made by you...how was I supposed to know what you meant, how in you mind you think they should be rewarded...since these people are so innovative and you claim they should be rewarded...I thought maybe you expected us to carry them on our shoulders or bake them a cake. Here I just though they were just another type of coin collector. I had no idea they were breaking new ground!! Innovating if you will. </p><p> </p><p>I am not one to define what is reward enough nor have I ever said I was...and morals have little if anything at all to do with the subject. You make absurd statements, extreme hyperbole at best.</p><p> </p><p>I have NEVER said people shouldn't collect exactly what they want to collect and if someone rewards them with money or whatever they feel is rewarding about the endeavor, more power to them.</p><p> </p><p>I personally dont care to do it, do not see a need to do it, would not enjoy doing it, not because I am lazy as much as it would bore me as its not interesting or important to me in the least. I do not think its innovative or teaches us anything more about the time, history, or anything other than the fact that there was a very slight change or mistake made....nothing more, nothing less. If people like to catalog, record and collect such things, that is their right and its my right not to see it as important. I agree with Cloudsweeper when he said I wouldnt use the word 'selfish' as I think that is a bit harsh (like you) and feel he probably could have, and maybe would have if given a second thought, worded it better.</p><p> </p><p>I will refrain from flailing about, striking out at anyone who doesnt agree with me by saying you have a moral problem or if you dont agree with me you are a 'SLIMBAG' and say enough said on this matter...:headbang:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
