<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 394994, member: 6370&quot;]Thats your opinion...its not like I have never read about varieties. I simply came to the conclusion that it contributed little I found worthwhile. This does not mean all must bend to my opinions on this matter...its just an opinion that obviously differs from your own.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><b>Rewards should, and do come to those who put forth directed effort, otherwise effort would be fruitless in all endeavors, and therefore worthless.</b></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This statement just does not make any sense. Simply because effort is put forth does not mean rewards will be forth coming or that it is worthwhile...that doesnt mean other efforts will not be rewarding simply because this one isnt, its not a case of all or nothing and black and white... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> If one endeavor proves not to be worthwhile or rewarding, that doesnt mean ALL endeavors would be fruitless...nor are all endeavors worthwhile simply because you put effort into it, some fail, others succeed but bring no reward.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also, if ANYTHING new that is introduced is an innovation and there are no other requirements to be called innovative like it being positive or important...then I guess it was innovative quite some time ago when people first started searching, collecting and cataloging varieties. Also that means innovation is not always worthwhile, good, positive, or worth keeping but can also be either unimportant or negative. For instance I would never have characterized &#039;new coke&#039; as innovative as it was a huge failure an most people simply did not like it. Under that strict definition I guess it would be innovative thus one would need to qualify innovation as something that is either important or beneficial innovation (good), negative (bad) innovation, and possibly innovations that are, on the whole, inconsequential...I would say the subject we are discussing would be the later...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>These are just opinions of course and I am not trying to be insulting...I am sure some people dont care for the way I approach collecting, and certainly there are MANY people who dont care or understand why people collect coins at all!! I simply agreed with the original thought expressed by Mr. Snowden (though I dont think selfish was the right wording) and didnt think I was a &#039;slimebag&#039; for agreeing with him...<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
